Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-.

The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Put together, it is a D-.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Coleman steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Nabers in Round 1, Pick 9. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Steal is underselling it; Terrion Arnold at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Nothing to complain about; Javon Bullard went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
They robbed the room for Keon Coleman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at No. 86 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 126th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Good price on Christian Jones in slot 143, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
You do not let a linebacker like Cedric Gray reach pick No. 158 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson slipping to No. 203 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
