Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-.

Call it larceny. DJ James sat on the board until No. 123, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice.

They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. slipping to the 9th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A tidy little value on Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 3, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Somehow Kris Jenkins was still sitting there in No. 75, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at pick 90 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
They barely believed it either: Kiran Amegadjie still on the board at the 104th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 DJ James
Taking DJ James in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd5 Mekhi Wingo
They will replay Mekhi Wingo at the 138th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in pick No. 162 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Steal is underselling it; Anthony Gould at slot 186 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
The board fumbled Cody Schrader all the way to pick No. 226, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
