Nobody else had Christian Jones anywhere near the Round 5 slot. The Bears did, by 44 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
