Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a D-, for the Bears.

The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots went begging.

The cost of the Powers-Johnson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Paul pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Circle this one: Patrick Paul at Round 3, Pick 6 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They took Christian Haynes at par in the 75th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots still to address, they spent pick 110 on Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A tidy little value on Mohamed Kamara in slot 122, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
