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

Nobody else had Jared Wiley anywhere near pick No. 146. The Bears did, by 59 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Put together, it is a D-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 9th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Elliss at Round 2, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They jumped the gun on Sedrick Van Pran, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at pick No. 110 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
A big swing on Jared Wiley at No. 146, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They read the board right and Kamal Hadden was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
Good price on Trevor Keegan in pick No. 240, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
