Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Burton left real value on the table behind him.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Turner. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
