Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. John Williams at No. 233 is 36 spots clear of where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 10 they get a three-down runner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 39th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Nothing to complain about; Tyleik Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cameron Williams. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
The board fumbled Kyle Williams all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 John Williams
A wild overpay on John Williams in pick No. 233, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
A conviction pick on Mac McWilliams at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
