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

The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That King pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kalen King
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kalen King in pick No. 75, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in slot 110 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 22 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Circle this one: Javon Foster at the 146th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
