Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bears answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: D-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Braelon Allen a full 36 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Landing Adams that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in pick No. 52, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in No. 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 76th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They reached into another round for Braelon Allen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at No. 143 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
