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.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The Braswell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Adding Jordan Whitehead by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
