Start where it matters. The Bears took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Harrison Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
In slot 9 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Fair-plus on Trey Benson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
