The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The veteran additions, Ben Powers chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Bottom line, with Rome Odunze leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
