This season’s draft class is considered one of the deepest in many years and if you’re a Bears fan, that’s a good thing. Why you might ask? Because without a first or second round pick, there is still a chance that there might be some talent left for Jerry Angelo to mis-evalutate when the 75th pick rolls around and the Bears are on the clock.
Perhaps the biggest need the Bears have yet to address is the safety position. Lance Briggs thinks the Bears need a veteran in the defensive backfield. I tend to agree but based on the lack of activity from the Bears in the free agent market, it stands to reason that the Bears will address this need in the draft.
Let’s check out this Gallery of the top safety prospects in the upcoming draft and see if they might be able to actually nab on of these guys.
1. Eric Berry, 6-0, 211, Tennessee
Berry is touted as a can’t miss in this draft and has even drawn some comparisons to Ed Reed. Um, yes please. He is a sure-fire Top 10 pick, so there is ZERO CHANCE that the Bears can pull this off.

Hello fellow Bears fans!!! Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Mike Burzawa, but those closest to me know me as Boomer. It’s a nickname that I’ve had for many, many years (long before I ever heard of that guy on ESPN) and I thought I’d post under that alias. I’m the new lead blogger for Bear Goggles On (I can’t take credit for the name), where I’ll be sharing my views and perspectives on the team we all love.
I’m a lifelong Chicagoan and a die hard fan of Da Bears. I’ve been around for the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. I mean, what was your favorite moment of the Cade McNown era??? The end, if you ask me!!! I have been going on an annual trip to an away Bears game for the last 13 years, so I’ve seen many different sports cities and I’m here to tell you that Chicago fans are second to none!!! As the greatest fans in the NFL, we deserve the greatest blog. I’ll do my best, but I’ll need your help.
I plan to share my take on the team and give a true fan’s perspective. Every once in a while, I’ll put the “Bear” goggles on and sip the Orange and Blue Kool Aide, but I’ll also “Lower the Boom” when I think it’s called for.
Most of all, I want to have some fun and the best way to do that is through your participation, so please feel free to comment, e-mail and share this site with other Bears fans.
