The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Reaching for Smith left real value on the table behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Maxx Crosby pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
