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

Some picks age like wine; Michael Barrett at the Round 5 slot will need to, sitting 70 spots clear of his grade. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 10th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reach for Zach Frazier in pick 44; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 72nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
No edge and no loss on Calen Bullock in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at slot 110 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They paid a round early for Beaux Limmer in the 111th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in No. 112 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in pick No. 113 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kalen King
A reach on Kalen King in slot 123; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braiden McGregor in pick 143, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 147th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
