Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bears, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Reaching for Bell left real value on the table behind him.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 9th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
By-the-book stuff, Troy Fautanu at the 35th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
No drama and no debate, Zach Frazier went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at pick No. 110, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They paid a round early for Jaheim Bell in No. 127, more than the board wanted. A minor need, but a need all the same.
