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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Michael Hall Jr. tumbling to the Bears in the 143rd overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A straight-up fair deal on Rome Odunze at slot 9, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
You do not let an offensive lineman like Olumuyiwa Fashanu reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in slot 75 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Legette went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
They robbed the room for Cooper Beebe here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They barely believed it either: Kris Abrams-Draine still on the board at pick No. 113. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 123rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick 143 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
