Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureA+
The Bears let Henderson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 72 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 148.

The cost of the Leigh reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick No. 23 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tate Ratledge in slot 39. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick51 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. in pick 51 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in the 73rd pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick120 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Parker Brailsford well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the 148th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
They will replay Deontae Lawson at Round 5, Pick 28 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
A reach on Davison Igbinosun in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
Value said wait; Kyren Lacy in pick No. 226 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at Round 7, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in slot 244 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
