Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: C.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Van Pran reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 9th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 43rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A slide stopped in slot 67, with Kingsley Suamataia worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid a round early for Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 74, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in No. 75 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in Round 4, Pick 2, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
The board had cheaper options than Jaden Hicks at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
No drama and no debate, Dallin Holker went about where he belonged in No. 127. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
By-the-book stuff, Cole Bishop at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
