Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

The Rice value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Jaylen Waddle deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
