Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a B weekend for the Bears.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on McConkey to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams at slot 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick15 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 15th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at the 46th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 75, where Jeremiah Trotter Jr. graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A reasonable price with a little left over, Blake Fisher in Round 4, Pick 22. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
