Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD 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. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. The Orhorhoro value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Hit on Caleb Williams and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick11 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 11 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 3, Pick 18 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the 87th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Good price on Zak Zinter in the 108th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A tidy little value on Matt Goncalves in slot 117, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at pick No. 122 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Fair-plus on Johnny Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Nothing to complain about; Dwight McGlothern went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy is a better player than slot 216 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
