Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: C+.

When a board-topper like Kiran Amegadjie slides to the Round 5 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not.

They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 JC Latham
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 42nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
They did well to land Adisa Isaac in pick 59, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Nothing to complain about; Brenden Rice went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 T.J. Tampa
Taking T.J. Tampa in slot 122 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the 145th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jalen McMillan
You do not let a wide receiver like Jalen McMillan reach the 147th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
