Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: D-.

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

That Roberts pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 2nd pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa is a better player than pick 55 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
A straight-up fair deal on Byron Murphy II at pick No. 68, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at slot 87 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
A slide stopped in the 104th overall pick, with Zach Frazier worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at No. 113 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They did well to land Tykee Smith in pick No. 132, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cade Stover
Good price on Cade Stover in slot 141, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at No. 182 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
Willie Roberts at the 225th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
