Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: A-.

The Aki Ogunbiyi pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 81 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

On value alone, Walker makes the weekend a net positive. Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Lassiter pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, with Caleb Williams leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 4th pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 27th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in pick 52 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went defensive back with Kamari Lassiter while clear needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick68 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take T.J. Tampa, a defensive back that was not the priority.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Caelen Carson at defensive back with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick132 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at slot 132 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Graham Barton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Graham Barton reach the 141st overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aki Ogunbiyi in pick 182, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the 225th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
