Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a B+ weekend for the Bears.

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. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 12 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick75 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 76th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in No. 122, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
