Williams is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a B-. The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Landing Johnson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In slot 9 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at No. 75 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 22. A minor itch, scratched.
