Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears robbed the room for Henderson. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how TreVeyon Henderson got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at slot 152.

Ersery has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 11th pick they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at Round 2, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at pick No. 47 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 73 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Billy Bowman Jr. in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick148 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in pick 148, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in slot 152 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
They paid up for Quincy Riley at the 203rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Zach Rice
They reached a country mile for Zach Rice at slot 226, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They took Luke Lachey at par in pick No. 244, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
