Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: D-.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Laiatu Latu, the No. 7 name on the board, in the 75th pick.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Nugent pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Marvin Harrison Jr. at pick 1 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brock Bowers
They will replay Brock Bowers at slot 43 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu in the 75th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis at pick No. 109 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in Round 4, Pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They paid sticker price for Javon Foster in the 122nd pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
They paid up for Drake Nugent at pick 131 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 DJ James
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Leonard Taylor III
Steal is underselling it; Leonard Taylor III at No. 146 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Circle this one: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at Round 5, Pick 35 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
