Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B, for the Bears.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. McCormick has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The veteran additions, Quinn Meinerz chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick18 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They went early on Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 17, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A reach for Kiran Amegadjie in the 53rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They paid up for Jaden Hicks at No. 75 when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 84 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mason McCormick. It fills a real need, too.
