Derek Kinder the Bears last pick in the 2009 Draft (7th round), was the first of that class to be cut. With the signing of recently cut Defensive back Rod Hood, the Bears had to make room on their roster and Kinder became expendable. Here is a look back at my draft evaluation of Kinder:
Derek [...]
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 [...]
Edited by Russ Loede: Kyle Orton and the Bears got off to another hot start Sunday against it’s first NFC North opponent, the winless Detroit Lions, as he led the team to victory, while topping all quarterbacks in passing yards. The difference this time, he didn’t cool off in the second half, as [...]
This time of year, everyone is optimistic, and hope spring eternal. Most NFL Teams have yet to play a pre-season game. Colts and Redskins excluded.
The Chicago Bears are deep into training camp and at least one rookie appears to have found his way to a starting role. The Bears released their starting [...]

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:

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 [...]
