The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: A-. You build a draft on nights like this. Josh Newton had no business being available in slot 225, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. They are betting Solomon proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Bottom line, with Caleb Williams leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
By-the-book stuff, Caleb Williams at No. 1 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick14
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick15
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick No. 15 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick25
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In the 25th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the 27th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Adonai Mitchell worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 15 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick48
Rnd2
Junior Colson
They took Junior Colson at par in slot 48, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 69 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Javon Solomon this early at No. 71. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick75
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A conviction pick on Dominick Puni at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Blake Corum in pick 96 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They went early on Mohamed Kamara in the 105th pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Javon Baker
Circle this one: Javon Baker at slot 107 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 4, Pick 26 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick No. 212 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225
Rnd7
Josh Newton
They will replay Josh Newton at the 225th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
