Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B+.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams in slot 1 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick No. 9 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick95 Rnd3 DJ James
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 95 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick 122 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They paid sticker price for Roger Rosengarten in the 132nd pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
