Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: B.

Nobody else had Tanor Bortolini anywhere near the Round 4 slot. The Bears did, by 67 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They banked enough surplus on Gould to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They paid sticker price for Rome Odunze in pick No. 10, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick33 Rnd2 Laiatu Latu
Taking Laiatu Latu in pick 33 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kiran Amegadjie in slot 72. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
They reached into another round for Tanor Bortolini, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Circle this one: Anthony Gould at No. 185 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
