  1. Darrell Henderson

A lot of the talk surrounding the Chicago Bears and running backs is a question of trading up for Miles Sanders. However, while he fits boxes, there is one back worth trading up for, and his name is Darrell Henderson.

Henderson is as close to the full package in this draft class. He is a big play magnet with lateral quickness and burst at the second and third level. He saw a heavy workload at Memphis and consistently ripped off big runs. Henderson excelled in the passing game with soft hands and run after the catch ability.

Henderson is a bit undersized, and his explosion numbers were not elite, like Sanders. However, he showed much more than Sanders on the field, and with his weight, usage and production has the three-down capability in the NFL.

The Chicago Bears have been extremely quiet on the Henderson front, likely because he is out of their reach. However, he also is an easy evaluation, and if there were a surprise trade up from Chicago it would be for Darrell Henderson at running back.
