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

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

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

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 9 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu at slot 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes slipping to the 75th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Wright at Round 4, Pick 28 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They barely believed it either: Jaden Hicks still on the board at pick 134. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nehemiah Pritchett. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mason McCormick in slot 163. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Luke McCaffrey in pick 181, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 189 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
Somehow Marist Liufau was still sitting there in the 200th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They let Tanor Bortolini come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 29. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Erick All
A tight end of that caliber at No. 225 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
