FutureB-
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: C. You build a draft on nights like this. Luke McCaffrey had no business being available in pick 216, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.
Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.
So much rides on Caleb Williams that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 75th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Patrick Paul in the 87th pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 22: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick216
Rnd6
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 216 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
