Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
A passer of the future in Williams, and a D-, for the Bears.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bears, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Value with a capital V on Zach Frazier in the 75th pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Dillon Johnson at the 110th overall pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick 122 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden slipping to pick No. 146 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
