Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

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.

They are betting Bortolini proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They jumped the gun on Cole Bishop, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in slot 122, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in Round 5, Pick 17 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
