Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bears let Starks fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Malaki Starks slide 36 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick 12 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 9 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in slot 63 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Alfred Collins at the 66th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 72. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
They read the board right and Ty Hamilton was the payoff at the 148th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A tidy little value on Ricky White III in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Value with a capital V on Robert Longerbeam in pick No. 240, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
No drama and no debate, Sam Brown Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 257. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
