Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: C-.

The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Powers-Johnson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 4 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick20 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 27th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 35 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at No. 75 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
They jumped the gun on James Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick143 Rnd5 Daijun Edwards
Nice patience on Daijun Edwards, who had no business lasting to pick 143. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
