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

Thirty-one other rooms let Xavier Worthy slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the Round 4 slot. Highway robbery.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The cost of the Powers-Johnson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
They paid sticker price for Caleb Williams in Round 1, Pick 1, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick11 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 11th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 11 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in pick 79. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 110th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
A quiet steal in No. 122: Jaden Hicks for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cam Hart
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 146, where Cam Hart graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
