Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Fiske falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 9th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Keon Coleman at No. 40 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske is a better player than slot 67 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the 75th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
They read the board right and Devontez Walker was the payoff at pick No. 78. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in pick 122. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick139 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in Round 5, Pick 3 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
