Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B-, for the Bears.

The Bears spent real capital to be 62 picks early on Tanor Bortolini, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 27th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brian Thomas Jr. at the 35th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A conviction pick on Calen Bullock at Round 3, Pick 2 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in pick No. 75 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They went early on McKinnley Jackson in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at slot 140 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They talked themselves into Tanor Bortolini at the 155th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Value said wait; Jalen Coker in No. 228 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
