Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B+.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Limmer reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
They took Caleb Williams at par in the 2nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick9 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 9 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Troy Franklin in the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick No. 43 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 10 with a little surplus value in Brenden Rice. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 111th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Value said wait; Beaux Limmer in No. 123 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
No edge and no loss on Malik Mustapha in slot 143; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick241 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
A reach for Trevor Keegan in pick 241; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
