2 — Stephon Tuitt, Notre Dame

Many experts have Tuitt as the No. 2 overall defensive end prospect in this year’s draft, yet not many have him going anywhere in the first round due to the depth at other key positions.  At 6-6, 303 Tuitt is an absolute monster of a defensive end and would be an ideal fit for a 3-4 defense.  There’s no doubt the former Notre Dame star has plenty of talent, but he’s more of a stretch to fit in the Bears system should they stick with their traditional 4-3 or Tampa 2.  Regardless, if the Bears could nab Timmy Jernigan in the first round, pairing him with Tuitt would be a dream scenario.
