Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA+
Williams is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a B+.

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.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Baker. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Limmer lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams at the 1st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 20 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 11. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A reasonable price with a little left over, Matt Goncalves in slot 110. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the 122nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at pick 155 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Steal is underselling it; Javon Baker at pick No. 211 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
