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. A mixed bag that lands at C-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They are betting Powers-Johnson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

So much rides on Olumuyiwa Fashanu that the real verdict is a season or two away.
