Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Slaughter slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the Round 3 slot. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
