Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureB+
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Andrew Raym, 76 picks ahead of schedule. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in pick 75. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 110th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A reach for Jaheim Bell in the 127th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick146 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
They liked Darius Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 10. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
They talked themselves into Andrew Raym at pick No. 232, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
