Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a A- weekend for the Bears.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Every board in the league had McLaughlin lower, and that gap is the story.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 2nd overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at Round 2, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 69 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the 105th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They jumped the gun on Cade Stover, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jason Marshall Jr. in No. 142, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 183, where Jack Nelson graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jaylon Carlies
Jaylon Carlies in slot 226 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
