Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC-
The Bears answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: D-.

Thirty-one other rooms let DJ James slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 122nd pick. Highway robbery.

The Taylor III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

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 pick No. 1 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 9 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at Round 1, Pick 17 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Leonard Taylor III. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James at pick 122 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
