Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. It is not that Green is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.

They banked enough surplus on Williams to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Bortolini reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 25 with a little surplus value in Adisa Isaac. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick 72 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A reasonable price with a little left over, Blake Fisher in No. 75. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
A tidy little value on Gabriel Murphy in slot 98, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in the 106th overall pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A conviction pick on Tyler Davis at Round 4, Pick 10 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They went early on Theo Johnson in the 111th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Renardo Green
A surprising call. With running back and linebacker still to address, they spent pick No. 122 on Renardo Green, a safety they were not short of.
Pick161 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at slot 161 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Taking Jaylin Simpson in pick 172 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at the 210th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Williams still on the board at No. 227. The roster fit checks out.
