Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Cam Ward, the No. 8 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 242. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
