The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 256th overall pick on Antario Brown a full 43 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
