Rookie review: RT Jordan Mills - Jeff Dickerson: Mills certainly wasn’t flawless but, unlike J’Marcus Webb, has the type of attitude the Bears want from their O-linemen and never played himself out of the starting lineup.

If not Tillman, where do Bears find starting CB? - Moon Mullin: Tillman’s return is in doubt, leaving the Bears with a need for nothing less than a day-one starter either in free agency or through the draft in May.
Analysts predict who Bears will draft - Larry Mayer: The NFL Draft is still three months away and free agency no doubt will change team needs. But it's never too early to see who NFL analysts think the Bears will select in the first round.
Kiper: Bears can’t wait to draft elite DL - Moon Mullin: The Bears hit with Melton (2009) and Wootton (2010) in fourth rounds. But they scored much bigger with Tommie Harris (2004) in a first round and that is Kiper’s suggestion for them this year.
Mock Draft - Rich Campbell: The Bears should draft D-linemen early because of a relative lack of depth in this year's class compared to that in the secondary, ESPN's Mel Kiper says. Michael C. Wright: Jernigan at 14 might be too much value to pass on.
