Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Xavier Legette got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 111.

The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Van Pran reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 9 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
You do not let a wide receiver like Troy Franklin reach the 43rd pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 75th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
They will replay Caelen Carson at No. 110 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Xavier Legette
The board fumbled Xavier Legette all the way to slot 111, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Steal is underselling it; Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 23 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
