Grading Chicago Bears 2023 Draft Class rookie at the bye week

Chicago Bears Round 5 Terell Smith 

When Terell Smith sees the field, he often looks good. Smith came in off of the bench for an injured Jaylon Johnson in week three. He gave up a few catches, but rebounded in his first start wee four against Denver. He got beat by Jahan Dotson in week five, but overall had another solid game. Smith had an illness that put him on the IR for about a month. Still, he came back in week 11, and Tyrique Stevenson got hurt so Smith had to start in week 12. 

Smith has started three games and is 12-16 for 77 yards. He has not allowed a touchdown. Beyond that, he has consistently shown to be a strong tackler. He made a couple of big stops against Detroit. Smith also has 32 special teams snaps, including 14 in the last two weeks. This is looking like a great pick for a fifth-rounder.

Terell Smith Grade: A

Chicago Bears Round 7 Travis Bell 

Travis  Bell was signed to the Atlanta Falcons roster from the Chicago Bears practice squad. He is gone.  

Travis Bell Grade: F

Chicago Bears Round 7 Kendall Williamson

Kendall Williams is still on the practice squad, so while the Chicago Bears losing Travis Bell gets them an F, Williamson gets an incomplete. 

Kendall Williamson Grade: I
