Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: C-.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.

The Baker steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
By-the-book stuff, Caleb Williams at pick No. 1 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 47 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 70th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 11 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 76th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at No. 107 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No edge and no loss on Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in slot 122, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Fair-plus on Mohamed Kamara, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Taking Javon Baker in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They will replay Chau Smith-Wade at the 147th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 168 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at pick No. 170 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick190 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
They let Isaiah Williams come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 15. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Good price on Myles Cole in No. 203, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylan Ford at slot 207, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
They barely believed it either: Jared Wiley still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
