A franchise passer in Williams headlines a D weekend for the Bears. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The cost of the Trice reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick 44 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick51
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bralen Trice. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in the 55th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They went early on Gabriel Murphy in slot 75, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in pick No. 84; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Ray Davis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ray Davis in No. 111. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123
Rnd4
Josh Newton
No drama and no debate, Josh Newton went about where he belonged in pick 123. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
A quiet steal in slot 143: Johnny Wilson for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210
Rnd6
Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
