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

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bears, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rakestraw Jr..

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 9th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A tidy little value on Tyler Guyton in pick No. 43, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Circle this one: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at Round 3, Pick 10 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in No. 75 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zak Zinter in the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 123rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A clean, defensible pick in pick 143 with a little surplus value in Kamal Hadden. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
