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. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Verse at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.
