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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Isaiah Davis tumbling to the Bears in the 248th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If Spann-Ford pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick31 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 31 they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
No drama and no debate, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
You do not let an edge rusher like Darius Robinson reach No. 63 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tyler Nubin
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Tyler Nubin in the 66th overall pick, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie is a better player than the 75th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran slid further than he should have, and pick No. 84 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Austin Booker
Steal is underselling it; Austin Booker at pick 104 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
Circle this one: DeWayne Carter at Round 4, Pick 22 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Matt Goncalves
They robbed the room for Matt Goncalves here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at slot 141 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at pick No. 162 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at No. 183 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They talked themselves into Brevyn Spann-Ford at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 204th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
Somehow Isaiah Davis was still sitting there in pick 248, and they pounced on premier running back value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
