The Bears left with their quarterback, and a B- to match. The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Kinchens.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in the 9th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Value said wait; Maason Smith in Round 3, Pick 11 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Kamren Kinchens
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 122 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
