Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureA
Williams is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a B+.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Polk falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 17 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick75 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maason Smith this early at slot 75. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ja'Lynn Polk
Taking Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 116 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 22. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
