Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: 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. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Zinter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 9 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at No. 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A slide stopped in the 122nd pick, with Zak Zinter worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
