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.
