117th overall-Trent Murphy-Stanford– Murphy is a high motor, hard worker who offers top notch athleticism as a hybrid DE. Has very long arms, and huge hands, and is one of the best hand fighters in the draft. Very smart player with top recognition awareness on screen passes and draws. May not make it this far down, but with this much talent someone is going to fall right in the Bears laps.

Alternate pick-Marcus Smith-Louisville- Smith is a great athlete and is familiar to Bears new DL coaching assistant Clint Hurtt who was the Cardinals DL coach last season. Impressive athlete with fluid movement. Shows the ability to play in a variety of fronts and schemes. Great character and high effort player.
