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

When a board-topper like Jarrian Jones slides to No. 204, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Every board in the league had Limmer lower, and that gap is the story.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at pick No. 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin is a better player than No. 46 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 60 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Patrick Paul. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in slot 89 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Circle this one: Khyree Jackson at pick 120 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brenden Rice in Round 4, Pick 22, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at the 128th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They reached a country mile for AJ Barner at the 144th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at Round 5, Pick 35 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Jarrian Jones reach pick 204 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They paid sticker price for Josh Proctor in the 246th pick, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
