Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B+, for the Bears.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They will need Okie-Anoma to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCaffrey. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 23rd overall pick they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
No drama and no debate, Roman Wilson went about where he belonged in pick 44. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick54 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mike Sainristil in pick No. 54, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 93rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Foster. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in slot 119, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nothing to complain about; Blake Fisher went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kalen King
Kalen King in No. 124 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaiah Davis this early at pick 129. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They will replay Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 32 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in slot 172 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick177 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
A quiet steal in the 177th pick: Marist Liufau for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 Myles Harden
The board had Myles Harden higher than the 217th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They paid up for Michael Barrett at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A wild overpay on Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
No edge and no loss on Jalen Coker in slot 251; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
