The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Bears put a flag in the ground for Emory Jones, 285 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Hart where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.2 · Pick 34 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 27
A clean, defensible pick in pick 34 with a little surplus value in Terrion Arnold. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 65
Sedrick Van Pran at the 65th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Rod Moore · S · rank 76
No drama and no debate, Rod Moore went about where he belonged in pick No. 76. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 95
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Davis. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 91
Jackson Powers-Johnson slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 1 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 114
They paid up for Roman Wilson at No. 104 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 137
Fair-plus on KJ Jefferson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Steve Linton · LB-EDGE · rank 173
Steve Linton at Round 6, Pick 7 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 172
Cam Hart in No. 188 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.21 · Pick 196 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 196
No edge and no loss on Keith Randolph Jr. in pick No. 196; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Korey Foreman · DL-EDGE · rank 206
Korey Foreman at the 204th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Marshel Martin · TE · rank 264
A real head-scratcher, Marshel Martin in pick 223 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Emory Jones · QB · rank 510
Value said wait; Emory Jones in slot 225 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Donell Harris Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 327
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donell Harris Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
