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

The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 2 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick13 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 40, where Tyler Nubin graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Corum
No drama and no debate, Blake Corum went about where he belonged in No. 75. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 100th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Fair-plus on Dominick Puni, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in the 122nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in slot 146 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick234 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
By-the-book stuff, Phil Jurkovec at pick No. 234 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
