Draft Grade — Bears

FutureA+
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: D. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Braiden McGregor a full 48 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. The Legette steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the 3rd overall pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In slot 14 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick50
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick No. 68 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75
Rnd3
Trey Benson
A tidy little value on Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 11, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Nice patience on Blake Fisher, who had no business lasting to pick 110. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at slot 122 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick136
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
They robbed the room for Kris Abrams-Draine here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 139. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
They reached into another round for Braiden McGregor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181
Rnd6
LaDarius Henderson
The board fumbled LaDarius Henderson all the way to No. 181, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
No drama and no debate, Josh Proctor went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 7. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick234
Rnd7
Zion Logue
By-the-book stuff, Zion Logue at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in pick 243 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
