Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesC FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Marshall Jr.: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Jason Marshall Jr., the No. 186 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 233rd overall pick.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Jermaine Eluemunor deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Nothing to complain about; Omarion Hampton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Armand Membou
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Armand Membou in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at slot 65 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Nice patience on Elic Ayomanor, who had no business lasting to pick No. 72. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 111 with a little surplus value in Jared Wilson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
They robbed the room for Jordan Phillips here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the 233rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at No. 240 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
