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

Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Thomas Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
They paid sticker price for Caleb Williams in pick No. 1, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick28 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edgerrin Cooper in the 56th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They barely believed it either: Brian Thomas Jr. still on the board at No. 60. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Good price on Patrick Paul in the 75th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 122 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Daijun Edwards at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
