Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Pearsall.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get their quarterback of the future at fair value.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 10 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They took Kris Jenkins at par in the 54th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Rod Moore
By-the-book stuff, Rod Moore at No. 74 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at Round 3, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie slid further than he should have, and pick 110 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
They paid sticker price for Seth McLaughlin in slot 118, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No edge and no loss on Cedric Gray in the 126th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
They robbed the room for Khyree Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in No. 188 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Somehow Ricky Pearsall was still sitting there in the 231st overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
