Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Junior Colson tumbling to the Bears in No. 122 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Nothing to complain about; Zach Frazier went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes slipping to Round 3, Pick 2 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 75 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at pick No. 113 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 125th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jalyx Hunt in No. 158, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 162nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
They barely believed it either: Anthony Gould still on the board at pick 186. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
The board fumbled Fabien Lovett all the way to pick No. 226, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
