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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tyrone Tracy Jr. tumbling to the Bears in the 216th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The phones were where this weekend was really won. Reaching for Smith left real value on the table behind him.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims is a better player than No. 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A wild overpay on Maason Smith in slot 75, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 87th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Renardo Green
They barely believed it either: Renardo Green still on the board at pick No. 98. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick119 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 119th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They let Braelon Allen come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 22. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in pick 216 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 226 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
