Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureB-
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says C. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop.
However the rest shakes out, Torrence at that price is a win they earned. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
If Caleb Williams and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9
Rnd1
Jared Verse
Jared Verse in the 9th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in the 75th pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A real head-scratcher, Maason Smith in pick No. 87 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beaux Limmer. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ro Torrence in No. 216, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
