Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a D, for the Bears.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bears, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Carson. Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 9 they get a true top target, and a steal at that.
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Nice patience on Troy Fautanu, who had no business lasting to the 39th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tyler Nubin
They barely believed it either: Tyler Nubin still on the board at the 75th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at pick 108 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at Round 4, Pick 23 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They let Darius Robinson come to them and pounced at No. 135. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at No. 143 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley is a better player than Round 7, Pick 8 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
