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. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Austin Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Austin Booker at Round 3, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Good price on Blake Fisher in pick 122, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
