Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B+.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Speights.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 27 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the 38th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in No. 75 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at Round 3, Pick 20 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Jalen McMillan graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick No. 104 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A conviction pick on Justin Eboigbe at the 110th pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
No edge and no loss on Jarrian Jones in pick 122; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 146th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick228 Rnd7 Omar Speights
The board fumbled Omar Speights all the way to the 228th pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
