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

Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. The Wright pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 9 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Graham Barton
No drama and no debate, Graham Barton went about where he belonged in slot 43. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They took Christian Haynes at par in the 75th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Darius Robinson at the 110th overall pick, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in Round 4, Pick 23 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylen Wright. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
