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

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Every board in the league had Logue lower, and that gap is the story.

The Bullard steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Caleb Williams at slot 1, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A tidy bit of business in the 75th overall pick, where Javon Bullard graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick109 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They paid a round early for Malik Washington in No. 109, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the 127th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles in pick No. 146 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They took Keith Randolph Jr. at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
No edge and no loss on Layden Robinson in No. 160; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A conviction pick on Jaylan Ford at slot 165 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Davis went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A premium they did not need to pay, Zion Logue a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
