Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bears, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Lloyd pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 11 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
They went early on Bralen Trice in the Round 1 slot, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 11 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at the 89th pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They reached into another round for Cole Bishop, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at No. 122 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick146 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and MarShawn Lloyd at the 146th overall pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
