Draft Grade — Bears

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Henderson: D+. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.
They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with interior defensive lineman and running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. If Murphy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Getting Henderson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick19
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 19th pick they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
A reach for J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 35; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cade Stover
Of all the spots to shop, they chose TE-EDGE. Cade Stover in the Round 4 slot leaves interior defensive lineman and running back for later.
Pick122
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
A straight-up fair deal on Sataoa Laumea at the 122nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
A clean, defensible pick in the 146th overall pick with a little surplus value in Nehemiah Pritchett. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
They paid a round early for Grayson Murphy in slot 157, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159
Rnd5
Austin Booker
Austin Booker in No. 159 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190
Rnd6
LaDarius Henderson
They will replay LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 190 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at the 231st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234
Rnd7
Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
