Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Bishop pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They took Rome Odunze at par in slot 9, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
The board had Blake Fisher higher than the 110th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 122nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
You do not let a safety like Cole Bishop reach pick No. 146 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
