Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC+
Williams is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bears, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

The Simpson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick28 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson slipping to pick 60 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at Round 4, Pick 10 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in No. 122 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They paid sticker price for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 146th pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 162 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
Nothing to complain about; Justin Rogers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
