Draft Grade — Bears

ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Malik Nabers at pick 75 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams at the 9th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malik Nabers
They will replay Malik Nabers at the 75th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in No. 122. A minor need, but a need all the same.
