Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Flournoy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Smith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
No drama and no debate, Caleb Williams went about where he belonged in No. 1. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick25 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 25th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 58th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They took Patrick Paul at par in pick 81, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Devontez Walker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 88 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at Round 4, Pick 22 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in the 216th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
