Chicago Bears 2008 Draft Preview
Chicago has an unbelievably poor history of picking backs and receivers in the first-round (Cedric Benson, Rex Grossman, David Terrell, Cade McNown, Curtis Enis, Rashaan Salaam), and you have to go all the way back to Curtis Conway in 1993 to find such a player that was a consistent pro contributor. And, here the Bears find themselves again, needing an offensive playmaker and trying not to make another major mistake. Running back and local favorite Rashard Mendenhall (Illinois) is a possibility, but a team with Marty Booker and Brandon Lloyd (yikes!) penciled in as the starting receivers might be better served by targeting a wideout. Conventional wisdom suggests that the club will wait until the 44th pick to select a quarterback, with Joe Flacco (Delaware) or Chad Henne (Michigan) possible options. Offensive line is next on the priority scale, and the defense needs both tackle and safety help. Good thing this team has 11 picks.
