The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: B-. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Getting Carson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In slot 2 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick14
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Chop Robinson at the 14th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Value with a capital V on Troy Fautanu in the 36th pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick39
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in No. 39; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick45
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
They paid a round early for Zach Frazier in pick No. 45, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72
Rnd3
Malik Washington
They left a pile of value on the table to take Malik Washington this early at Round 3, Pick 8. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A real head-scratcher, Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78
Rnd3
Maason Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maason Smith. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the 122nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
