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

Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

That Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jared Verse
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jared Verse at slot 20. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A slide stopped in pick No. 51, with Keon Coleman worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They did well to land Xavier Legette in No. 75, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caelen Carson in the Round 4 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 26. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the 202nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Cornelius Johnson reach slot 227 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
