Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson I like what the Bears did early today. They took Vanderbilt receiver Earl Bennett and LSU safety Craig Steltz. These are two very good value picks. Bennett could polished and could step in and make an impact for the receiver-hungry Bears. Steltz is a smart, overachiever who has a chance in the future. Chicago started strong Saturday by taking Vanderbilt ...

The Chicago Sun Times and Rotoworld report that Matt Forte, the second round draft pick of the Chicago Bears, may be the team's starting tailback in 2008. Cedric Benson started the season for Chicago and averaged 3.4 yards per carry over 11 games. His backup, Adrian Peterson, also averaged 3.4 yards per carry, but hauled in 51 receptions over 16 games.Bears Sign QB Hill

Well, at least they got someone. The Chicago Sun Times reports that the Bears have signed former Southern Illinois quarterback Nick Hill to a deal. Hill thought he’d be going to the Bills with the second to last pick, but they went defense instead. He saw the Bears as the best fit because they’re the only team in the NFL with just two quarterbacks on the roster. Again, I ...2008 NFL Draft - Day 2, Part 2

The Chicago Bears selected Chris Williams, offensive tackle from Vanderbilt (6′6″, 315lbs). Bears, thank you for finally drafting according to your need. The offensive line was the most pressing issue, and you really came through on this one. Pleasantly suprised that we picked up a guy who has only given up 2 sacks in his last 1,558 snaps. He should be a very nice addition to ...Chicago Bears Select Matt Forte

First was Rashard Mendenhall, who was expected to be there at this ...2008 NFL Draft: 1.14 Chris Williams, OT, Chicago Bears
Posted 4/26/2008 on Footballguys Blog
OT Chris Williams fills an immediate need for the Bears, and allows the team to move John Tait back to the right side. Williams is a polished pass protector and a sufficient run blocker (that’s the area he needs to work on). Either way, the Bears offense needs help at most positions and strengthening the line is a first step. Fantasy Impact: Williams is NFL ready as a pass protector; ...Pick #14 - Chicago Bears - Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt

Wow, I have to write about another offensive lineman. This may not be a bad pick for the Bears. I was almost sure they would go with Rashard Mendenhall here, since he is from the Big Ten, specifically Illinois. Maybe the Bears finally learned a lesson from other horrible Big Ten running back failures for them like Anthony Thomas and Curtis Enis. Mark my words, I think Mendenhall is going toOur Top Bears Draft Posts
