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

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Reaching for Ceaser left real value on the table behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

Landing Mims that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 21 they get a building block for the line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Circle this one: Amarius Mims at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
They took Ja'Lynn Polk at par in slot 75, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick 86 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
They reached into another round for Nelson Ceaser, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
