Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
Williams is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a C-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Brian Thomas Jr., the Round 4 slot, roughly 84 picks past where he belonged.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

Every board in the league had Bortolini lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

If Caleb Williams and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 2 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 20th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They let Graham Barton come to them and pounced at No. 40. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
The board fumbled Ja'Tavion Sanders all the way to slot 75, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brian Thomas Jr.
They will replay Brian Thomas Jr. at the 110th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147 Rnd5 Calen Bullock
Taking Calen Bullock in pick No. 147 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanor Bortolini in pick 162, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
