Draft Grade — Bears
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC-
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: F.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Reaching for Powers-Johnson left real value on the table behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Davis.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 2 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 9 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at Round 2, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A quiet steal in the 36th overall pick: Jordan Morgan for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They jumped the gun on Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in slot 67 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at pick No. 74 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They paid a round early for Braden Fiske in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick 90 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Good price on Khyree Jackson in pick No. 110, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ray Davis
They let Ray Davis come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 22. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A tidy little value on Malik Mustapha in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
