You can draft well and still miss the point. The Bears did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. The final tally is a middling C+.

They are betting Freeling proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

If Olaivavega Ioane and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
