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.

They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

If Van Pran pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Landing Coleman that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.
