Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to 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. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick14 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 14 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They did well to land Patrick Paul in Round 3, Pick 11, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Good price on Elijah Jones in pick No. 122, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
