Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says D-.

The war room fell hard for Theo Johnson, and it showed at the Round 4 slot: 31 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Estime 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 interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 9th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick No. 52 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach on Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They let Audric Estime come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 11. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They paid sticker price for Malik Washington in pick 120, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at slot 121 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick No. 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick143 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They took Luke McCaffrey at par in Round 5, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
