Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bears, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Bears indulged a want in Solomon while a need in running back and linebacker stayed open. The Johnson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Getting James where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.
