FutureB+
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: B+. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
They banked enough surplus on Green to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Wiley lower, and that gap is the story.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the 48th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75
Rnd3
Austin Booker
A clean, defensible pick in the 75th pick with a little surplus value in Austin Booker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
A straight-up fair deal on Hunter Nourzad at slot 116, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121
Rnd4
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at No. 121 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick No. 122 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
