Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a D weekend for the Bears.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for AJ Barner, 40 picks ahead of schedule. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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 at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in Round 2, Pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 51st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They paid a round early for Bucky Irving in the 84th pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in No. 104, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Javon Baker slipping to pick No. 111 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 120th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at Round 4, Pick 21 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
A big swing on Nelson Ceaser at slot 123, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 James Williams
The board fumbled James Williams all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick 149 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They paid sticker price for Kamal Hadden in the 169th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Barrett this early at the Round 6 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight is a better player than slot 230 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Frank Gore Jr. at No. 238 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
