When a board-topper like Cam Ward slides to slot 233, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
