Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
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.
