The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They banked enough surplus on Bishop to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Adding Cole Strange by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
