Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: 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.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Getting Cowing where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in No. 43 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Corum
No edge and no loss on Blake Corum in the 75th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in slot 110 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
By-the-book stuff, Leonard Taylor III at Round 4, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in the 123rd overall pick, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick No. 148 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick196 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Andrew Raym. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
