Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a D- to match.

The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. With interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Kinchens value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Beebe reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 16th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Value with a capital V on Malachi Corley in No. 62, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid up for Cooper Beebe at slot 66 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kamren Kinchens
You do not let a safety like Kamren Kinchens reach pick 103 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 9, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A curious use of pick No. 121. Interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
