Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says B-.

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. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A tidy little value on Patrick Paul in pick No. 75, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in slot 122; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
