The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: B-.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Keon Coleman, the No. 36 name on the board, in the 111th overall pick.

The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 9 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jer'Zhan Newton
The board fumbled Jer'Zhan Newton all the way to pick No. 75, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in Round 4, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at No. 123 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Renardo Green
A safety of that caliber at the 143rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
