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

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The cost of the Cole reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They paid sticker price for Roman Wilson in No. 40, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick46 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 46th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 57th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
No edge and no loss on Brandon Dorlus in pick No. 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 89 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A conviction pick on Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick180 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They talked themselves into Myles Cole at the 180th overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
