The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: T.J. Tampa, the No. 39 name on the board, sitting there at the 71st overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
