Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: B-.

The war room fell hard for Tanor Bortolini, and it showed at the 122nd overall pick: 65 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in slot 49 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Javon Baker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Javon Baker well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A real head-scratcher, Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at No. 80 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Jones a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanor Bortolini this early at pick 122. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
