Fearless Predictions for Bears 2011 Draft

The Bears are just over 24 hours away from the 2011 draft, probably the most important draft of GM Jerry Angelo’s tenure.  A

Here are my Fearless Predictions for the 2010 Chicago Bears Draft:

  • No matter who they take and when they take him, this will be the player the Bears targeted all along.
  • They will be shocked that he fell to them where they drafted.
  • They will love his athleticism.
  • They will believe that he can contribute immediately.
  • They will trade down.  Maybe not in the first round, but at some point they will.  Jerry Angelo likes to hoard draft picks and with only 6 picks and a ton of hole to fill, he’ll get an itch.  Will some other GM be kind enough to help him scratch it?
  • They will draft a running back in the 7th round.  In fact, I know who it will be – Harvey Unga.  Remember him?  The Bears drafted him in the Supplemental Draft, cashing in their 7th round pick in the process.  They’ve got a head start on everyone else, so they’ve got that going for them.
  • The Bears will draft a defensive linemen; they always do.
  • They will draft at least one offensive lineman because they desperately need one.
  • The Bears will draft a quarterback who is unlikely to make the team since Mike Martz will change his mind and decide he wants a veteran signal caller backing up Cutler when he sees the lack of talent along the offensive line.
  • We will proceed to bash the Bears front office no matter who they take because it’s what we do.
