Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Henderson should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. TreVeyon Henderson had no business being available in No. 149, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Hawes to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick41 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Value with a capital V on Derrick Harmon in slot 41, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in the 72nd pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick149 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in pick 149, and they pounced on premier running back value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They barely believed it either: Oronde Gadsden II still on the board at pick No. 197. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick235 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Miles Frazier at the 235th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They went early on Jackson Hawes in No. 242, and the value did not follow. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
