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

The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Put together, it is a D-.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Limmer left real value on the table behind him.

The Suamataia pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
By-the-book stuff, Rome Odunze at pick No. 9 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in slot 43 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at Round 3, Pick 11 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Max Melton
Fair-plus on Max Melton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keith Randolph Jr.. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Nothing to complain about; Josh Proctor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick232 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
No drama and no debate, Joshua Cephus went about where he belonged in the 232nd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick236 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
They paid up for Donovan Jennings at slot 236 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
