Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: D-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. AJ Barner at Round 4, Pick 21 is 39 spots clear of where he belonged. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. With interior defensive lineman and running back unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

Trotter Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams at pick No. 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at Round 2, Pick 19 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks slid further than he should have, and slot 84 is lovely value for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick111 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in pick 111 leaves interior defensive lineman and running back for later.
Pick120 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in the 120th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 AJ Barner
Value said wait; AJ Barner in No. 121 says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
A want over a need in the 123rd pick: James Williams adds a safety while interior defensive lineman and running back keeps waiting.
Pick143 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They talked themselves into Trevor Keegan at Round 5, Pick 7, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Nice patience on M.J. Devonshire, who had no business lasting to slot 197. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
