Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Williams is the Bears' new face under center. Grade: 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. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If Spann-Ford pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick15 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 15 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson is a better player than the 48th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A slide stopped in No. 114, with Roger Rosengarten worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A quiet steal in the 122nd pick: Zak Zinter for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
The board had Kitan Oladapo higher than Round 5, Pick 17, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick212 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 212 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
