The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Newton at that price is a win they earned.

The Joel Bitonio deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In the end it comes back to Malik Nabers, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
