Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a C+ to match.

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.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Dixon. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a long-term starter on the line at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick108 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They did well to land Audric Estime in the 108th pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at pick No. 122 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Javon Foster at pick 129. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in slot 222 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
