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

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Bortolini pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
No drama and no debate, Adisa Isaac went about where he belonged in pick 53. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in Round 3, Pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. The roster fit checks out.
