The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B+. The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
Every board in the league had Barner lower, and that gap is the story. That Thomas Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
No drama and no debate, Caleb Williams went about where he belonged in pick 2. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick18
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 18th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in the 40th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick48
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
They reached into another round for Sedrick Van Pran, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick50
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Cooper DeJean in No. 50, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
They will replay Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in slot 72 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at Round 3, Pick 11 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
You do not let a wide receiver like Xavier Worthy reach the 78th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 96 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 4, Pick 20 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122
Rnd4
AJ Barner
AJ Barner in slot 122 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick152
Rnd5
Blake Fisher
Somehow Blake Fisher was still sitting there in the 152nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
They took Josh Proctor at par in pick No. 239, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
