Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a B- to match. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In No. 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 75 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at Round 4, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
