The Bears put a flag in the ground for Kamran James, 105 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Bernard pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

In the end it comes back to Lee Hunter, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.25 · Pick 57 · Lee Hunter · DT · rank 49
A tidy bit of business in slot 57, where Lee Hunter graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 40
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 58 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 58
They will replay Jake Slaughter at pick 78 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Germie Bernard · WR · rank 63
Somehow Germie Bernard was still sitting there in the 89th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Mason Reiger · LB-EDGE · rank 148
Mason Reiger in the 113th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Malik Muhammad · CB · rank 103
Malik Muhammad slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 20 is lovely value for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 138
A conviction pick on DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 129 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · Marvin Jones Jr. · LB-EDGE · rank 328
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marvin Jones Jr.. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Kamran James · DE-EDGE · rank 346
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kamran James this early at slot 241. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.39 · Pick 255 · Nolan Rucci · OT · rank 254
Nolan Rucci in the 255th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
