Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
Quarterback settled, Williams in the fold, and a D- for the Bears.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Bell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams at the 1st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A straight-up fair deal on Olumuyiwa Fashanu at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a true top target at fair value.
Pick64 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at slot 64 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Corum
No drama and no debate, Blake Corum went about where he belonged in the 75th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They paid sticker price for Tykee Smith in No. 95, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A reach on Leonard Taylor III in pick No. 98; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at pick 110 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A big swing on Jaheim Bell at slot 122, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
