Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureB+
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says D. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They will need Barner to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The McGlothern value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In slot 9 they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at No. 75 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick 110 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in pick No. 121 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick122
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the 122nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
No edge and no loss on Jarrian Jones in Round 4, Pick 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145
Rnd5
AJ Barner
They reached a country mile for AJ Barner at No. 145, and the board is aghast. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They took Luke McCaffrey at par in the 147th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick 203 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207
Rnd6
Daijun Edwards
You do not let a running back like Daijun Edwards reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
