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. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
