Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-.

Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Sanders has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Turner steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Value with a capital V on Dallas Turner in the 37th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in slot 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at the 104th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
The board had cheaper options than Shilo Sanders at Round 4, Pick 5, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick132 Rnd4 Connor Colby
They did well to land Connor Colby in pick 132, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 AJ Barner
No edge and no loss on AJ Barner in pick No. 141; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Nothing to complain about; Kamal Hadden went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at slot 225 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
