Thirty-one other rooms let Kaleb Johnson slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at pick No. 72. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
