Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says B+.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The cost of the Gargiulo reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick13 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A clean, defensible pick in Round 1, Pick 13 with a little surplus value in Rome Odunze. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Good price on Braden Fiske in slot 44, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A premium they did not need to pay, Patrick Paul a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
The board had cheaper options than Isaac Guerendo at the 130th overall pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A big swing on Curtis Jacobs at the 165th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Nick Gargiulo
They reached into another round for Nick Gargiulo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
