When it comes to the Bears, it’s fair
to say that with each new season I am...
exceedingly optimistic. You say the glass is half-empty? I don’t just say it’s half-full. I say look at those droplets all around the sides–those have to count for something too, right? But even your ever-hopeful Zoner had to laugh when I read what Rex Grossman had to say about the Bears offense.

Chris Williams is another massive player at the
offensive tackle position. The senior from Vanderbilt might not...
have the same credentials as others in this draft. He might not have the same exposure as others would. But he has talent. He has the goods to play in the NFL; some team will bring in a fine player by drafting him. Williams also has a bit of a mean streak in him, which I kind of like.

guy. Regardless, Miami is getting a great lineman, and it’s a good pick, so long as the Dolphins accept that not every top 5 lineman taken makes a great Left Tackle.
