Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureA+
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says B+.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

That Cowing pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will need Limmer to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick5 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 5 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in the 37th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Javon Foster
They will replay Javon Foster at pick No. 68 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at slot 70 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the 104th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A straight-up fair deal on Cole Bishop at Round 4, Pick 32, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick139 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
By-the-book stuff, MarShawn Lloyd at the 139th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in No. 141 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They took Brevyn Spann-Ford at par in the 182nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in pick No. 225 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
