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. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The Bears indulged a want in Williams while a need in edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Frazier lower, and that gap is the story.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
