Draft Grade — Bears
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Bears left with their quarterback, and a F to match.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Braiden McGregor, 76 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They paid a round early for McKinnley Jackson in No. 75, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach on Zak Zinter in the 85th pick; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at slot 110 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A reach for Javon Foster in pick 120; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the 122nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at No. 123 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Braiden McGregor
Value said wait; Braiden McGregor in the 127th overall pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Javon Baker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Javon Baker well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
