Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Williams in the fold, and a B- for the Bears. The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Paul pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In the 9th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick75
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick 75 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
