Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a D- weekend for the Bears.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Hart at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In slot 26 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell slid further than he should have, and the 45th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beau Brade
No edge and no loss on Beau Brade in the 110th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick 122 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on McCallan Castles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the 152nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They let Frank Gore Jr. come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
