Well, now that the Bears presumably have a franchise quarterback, let me update my Mock Draft.
The Bears traded away their first round pick this year, and in 2010, and Kyle Orton. So what does this mean to my previous draft?
Well in my opinion, the number one need is still wide receiver, but instead of pick [...]
The Chicago Bears enter the off season with plenty of needs, most of them on the offensive side of the ball. I know, many people are saying that Chicago needs a pass rushing specialist to take the heat off the secondary. I myself think Rod Marinelli and Lovie Smith will fix some of what ails [...]
Part 1 Of 3: 21 Questions From Site Editor Russ Loede To Columnists Eric Cook & Ron Norman
1. Site Editor Russ Loede: Convince Bears fans Chris Williams was the right choice. Personally, I am not sold on Williams, I wanted to trade down and select either Rashard Mendenhall or [...]
Well, now that the smoke has begun to clear, and the dust is settling, I think it is timethat I begin to grade the Bears Draft.
I think there are two key points of critical criteria you need to look at when initially grading the draft:
1) Were needs met at critical positions?
2) Was there good [...]
Impressed: Well since I was making such a “big deal” about drafting OL early & often, and making such a push for Chris Williams, I guess I have to say the “big ugly” from Vandy is my favorite choice. Although Matt Forte was a solid pick as well. I guess I was a [...]

Question Marks Surround, Yet Talent’s Undoubted: With their 5th round selections Chicago acquired depth on both sides of the ball, obtaining two prospects with tons of talent, yet possessing questions concerning durability that need to be answered.
WIth their first Pick in round 5 (142) the Bears select Zackary Bowman a 6′2″ 200-pound Cornerback [...]
The Bears first pick of day two (70) is Earl Bennett a 6′0″ 209 lb Wide receiver out of Vanderbilt.
Here is a scouting report from NFL.com:
“Well-built athlete for the position. … Good overall musculature with a proportionate build throughout. … Good initial quickness off the snap. … Good burst in and out of his routes. [...]
In Need Of A Spark On Offense Team Picks Up Second Vanderbilt Product
Round 3
Ht: 5-11
Wt: 206
I can only assume that Earl Bennett would more than likely have not been drafted by the Bears if it was not for the intense scouting of teammate Chris Williams. In Bennett we get a guy that runs sharp and [...]
I hope we so, there are still some players out there who can not only add depth to th Bears offense but possibly contribute. I would love to see The Bears go after WR Mario Manningham in this round if he is still there for us, and then another O-lineman: Roy [...]
