Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Williams is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a B+.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Every board in the league had Cole lower, and that gap is the story. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They took Keon Coleman at par in the 44th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at slot 50 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick53 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 80 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They talked themselves into Mason McCormick at the 122nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at No. 149 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
