Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Clay Webb at No. 148 will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Henderson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 10th pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They let Malaki Starks come to them and pounced at pick 39. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick41 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson at slot 41 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 8 is lovely value for the running back. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Clay Webb
They talked themselves into Clay Webb at No. 148, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
