The Bears left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Reaching for Smith left real value on the table behind him.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Worthy at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick25
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the 25th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in No. 58 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at slot 72 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 75th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in Round 3, Pick 12 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Circle this one: Khyree Jackson at pick 114 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
The board had Braelon Allen higher than No. 122, and the running back fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
No drama and no debate, Luke McCaffrey went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
Nice patience on Dwight McGlothern, who had no business lasting to slot 169. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Value with a capital V on Tahj Washington in pick 202, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
