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.

They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. On value alone, Fautanu makes the weekend a net positive.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
