Round 1, # 14

CHRIS WILLIAMS, OT Vanderbilt - 6'6 1/2, 317 lbs.

The knocks on Vanderbilt's Chris Williams are that he is too soft and just a mediocre run blocker. While it is true that he is not as aggressive as another potential Bears first pick, Pittsburgh's Jeff Otah, he was still very effective as a three-year starter in the extremely tough SEC. Williams will need to get a little bigger in the upper-body to improve as a run blocker but his pass protection skills are superb. He can take over at left tackle --maybe right away -- and that would allow John Tait to move to the right side were he could add years to his career.

Round 2, # 44

MATT FORTE, RB Tulane - 6'1 1/8, 221 lbs.

The Bears have shown much interest in the Tulane product. Running backs coach Tim Spencer even met with Forte in New Orleans late last month to feel the kid out. Forte is a bruising back and would fit the Bears' "get off the bus running" mold. He has shown that he can carry the load, too, by rushing 361 times last year for 2,127 yards and 23 touchdowns. Judging by these numbers, it would be hard to tell that he underwent knee surgery just the year before. He could, at least, push Cedric Benson for playing time, if he does not earn the starting job.

Round 3, # 70

JORDY NELSON, WR Kansas St. - 6'2 5/8, 215 lbs.

The "top-tier" receivers in this year's draft class are as far away from a sure thing as there has been in a while. And while the Bears desperately need that number one receiver, I think they grab a spectacular number two here. Everything about Kansas State's Jordy Nelson spells winner. He has excellent size, he has been durable, he has outstanding hands, he is tough, he can shake a defender in the open field and even though he may not be a burner, you saw what he did to projected first rounder Aqib Talib , didn't you?

Round 3, # 90

JOSH BARRETT, SS Arizona St.

Last year's fifth-rounder Kevin Payne played well in limited playing time. The Bears also just came to terms with Brandon McGowan. Adam Archuleta will be gone before the season begins and Danieal Manning is only adequate. Mike Brown is an absolute monster. Yet, he can not stay healthy. He has had four season-ending injuries in the last five years. Arizona State's Josh Barrett would not only just add insurance at the safety position but in many ways, would be an upgrade over who the Bears employ now. Barrett's biggest plus is that he is solid in coverage.

Round 4, # 106

JEREMY ZUTTAH, G Rutgers

The Bears have already expressed interest in Rutgers offensive lineman Jeremy Zuttah. Last month, they engaged in a private workout with him. Zuttah played at both tackle and guard at Rutgers but projects best as a guard in the NFL. He is extremely athletic and has terrific speed and quickness. He is also very powerful and shows that explosive pop. Zuttah would challenge Josh Beekman for playing time at left guard. Talk about an upgraded o-line.

Round 5, # 136

KEVIN O'CONNELL, QB San Diego St.

The Bears swear they are not rebuilding and I believe them. They feature a playoff caliber defense that should keep them in almost every game. Traditionally, rookie quarterbacks do not help their team right away or even play much at all. With that said, why would the Bears go quarterback earlier than the fifth round? San Diego State's Kevin O'Connell has alot of the tools that you look for in your franchise quarterback: good size, mobility, accuracy and arm strength. He is also very smart and competitive and could be molded into a great one.

Round 6, # 168

LIONEL DOTSON, DT Arizona

Arizona's defensive tackle Lionel Dotson is undersized at 6'3 and 289 pounds which might cause him to fall this far. That would be a blessing for the Bears as Dotson fits their scheme to a tee. The Bears defense was not very good last season, in part, because they did not have the personnel at tackle to employ the rotation they like to. With Dusty Dvoracek coming back from injury, Izzy Idonije making the switch and Matt Toeaina making stides, an added defensive tackle of Dotson's caliber would make that rotation strong and effective once again.

Round 7, # 215

FERNANDO VELASCO, OL Georgia

The Bears can not get enough depth on the offensive line. Lineman with versatility have an added value. Olin Kreutz has been such a staple at the center position, it is hard to imagine anyone else filling in. Back-up center Pat Mannelly has been used solely as a long-snapper. Georgia's Fernando Velasco played both center and guard at Georgia where he was the team-captain. He has a passion for the game and will work hard to improve. He would be a valuable back-up early who could develop into a solid pro and potentially succeed Kreutz.

***Compensatory Picks***

Round 7, #243

TIM HIGHTOWER, FB Richmond

Richmond running back Tim Hightower was a candidate for the Walter Payton award - an award given to the best back in Division II. Ironically, current Bears running back Adrian Peterson won the Walter Payton award as a standout at Georgia Southern. Hightower would add depth at fullback and be a asset on special teams. He possesses good size and is aggressive, running with toughness and power.

Round 7, #247

DEREK FINE, TE Kansas

Tight end is probably the position of least need for the Bears. Desmond Clark has been very solid over the last few years and second-year man Greg Olsen is loaded with upside. Yet, the Bears lost John Gilmore to Tampa Bay this offseason so it would be smart if they found someone to replace him. Gilmore was mainly used as a blocking tight end in Chicago. Kansas tight end Derek Fine has good blocking skills as both, a lead blocker and on the second level. Fine could also contribute on special teams which gives him added value.

Round 7, #248

JUSTIN HARPER, WR Virginia Tech

If the Bears can snag Virginia Tech wide receiver Justin Harper this late, they will be thrilled. Harper, sometimes lost in the mix of a good receiving group at VT, has the physical tools to develop into a solid possession receiver. He has soft hands, very long arms and an outstanding catch radius. He runs fine routes, which is hard to teach. Harper would join Marty Booker, Devin Hester, Mark Bradley, Mike Hass, Rashied Davis, Brandon Lloyd and Jordy Nelson on a receiving corps that is suddenly, pretty good.

Round 1, # 14 (14 overall) - Chris Williams, OT Vanderbilt

6-6 1/2, 317 LBS., 40 TIME: 5.15E

Losing veteran linemen Ruben Brown (LG) and Fred Miller (RT) only further decimates a line that wasn't too impressive last season to begin with. The good news is that this year's draft is loaded with talent at tackle. A lot of talk has been made to suggest current left tackle John Tait would benefit from a move to the right side. In that case, the Bears would be wise to select the player who could start at left tackle right away. Outside of Boise State's Ryan Clady, who projects to be gone by pick 14, the best left tackle on the board is Vanderbilt's Chris Williams. Williams is athletic, can handle edge speed, shows solid anchor strength and plays with great balance. In the last two seasons he has only allowed two sacks.

Round 2, # 13 (44) - Earl Bennett, WR Vanderbilt

6-0 1/2, 200 LBS., 40 TIME: 4.5e

After two key free agent losses, the Bears will desperately be searching for that quality number one receiver in this year's draft. Vanderbilt wide receiver Earl Bennett has good size and projects to become a prototypical possession receiver at the next level. Bennett is deceptively strong and can get yards after contact. He possesses good hands, great concentration skills, good body control and adjusts well to poorly thrown balls.

Round 3, # 7 (70) - Tashard Choice, RB Georgia Tech

5-8 5/8, 210 LBS., 40 TIME: 4.55E

Georgia Tech's Tashard Choice reminds me so much of former Bears running back Thomas Jones, it is scary. While that is almost enough for me to warrant the pick, Choice's mental makeup, incredible passion and good vision also figure in to me thinking he is everything Cedric Benson is not.

Round 3, #27 (90) - Josh Johnson, QB San Diego

6-2 5/8, 200 LBS., 40 TIME: 4.56E

Josh Johnson might not fall this far but the University of San Diego quarterback could prove to be a steal if he does. He hasn't yet faced any top-notch competition but his 43-1 -- that's right, forty three to one --touchdown-interception ratio is strikingly intriguing. He will not be ready to play this season but should the Grossman/Orton experiment fail, Johnson could develop into a viable starter as early as next season.

Round 4, # 11 (106) - Andre Fluellen, DT Florida State

6-1 7/8, 285 LBS., 40 TIME: 5.05e

The Bears defensive scheme relies on the ability to rotate defensive lineman in and out throughout an entire game. Depth on the line is not as good as it once was for Chicago. Israel Idonije has moved inside and Matt Toeaina has shown flashes but outside of Pro-Bowler Tommie Harris, the Bears lack any really proven talent at tackle. Florida State defensive tackle Andre Fluellen is a great athlete who posseses good upper-body strength. He also has the burst at the snap to get himself into the backfield quickly and is a tough competitor.

Round 5, # 9 (136) - Cornelius "Pig" Brown, S Missouri

5-11, 205 LBS., 40 TIME: 4.58

Second-year safety Kevin Payne looks like a total stud. Even so, with Mike Brown's future uncertain and over-hyped Adam Archuletta being a total bust, the Bears could use some help at safety. Missouri's Pig Brown is a strong tackler and not afraid to hit a ballcarrier in the mouth. Brown shows passion for the game, has big-play ability and demonstrates emotional leadership. He would probably be drafted higher if it were not for a torn Achilles' tendon that caused him to miss the final six games last year. The fifth-round is high enough to take a chance on a guy that if he were to recover strong he would be an absolute steal.

Round 6, # 9 (168 ) - Fernando Velasco, G Georgia

6-2 3/4, 308 LBS., 40 TIME: 5.24

It might be puzzling to some that I think the Bears will wait until the sixth round to select a guard, a definite need. However, this year's draft class is weak and the Bears would do better to fill other needs early. Georgia center Fernando Velasco is projected to play guard in the NFL, a position he played his junior season. He has big, strong hands and can maul and control defenders. He shows solid strength in run protection and possesses the type of frame that will allow for him to get bigger and stronger. Velasco has a strong work ethic and great character. Plus, his versatility would allow the Bears to plug him into multiple positions including left guard.

Round 7, # 15 (215) - Justin Harper, WR Virginia Tech

6-3 3/8, 205 LBS., 40 TIME: 4.54

Adding another wide receiver wouldn't hurt the Bears, who are, big surprise, relatively weak at this position. Virgina Tech's Justin Harper may have gotten lost in the shuffle of fellow Hokie receivers, Eddie Royal and Josh Morgan, in this year's draft but he has some serious upside. He is a good athlete, runs fine routes and can make difficult catches.

Round 7, # 43 (243) *compensatory pick* - Shawn Murphy, G Utah State

6-4 1/8, 319 LBS., 40 TIME: 5.19

The crop of guards coming into the draft this season is weak, at best. Yet, considering the Bears have not done anything to address the position in free agency, they could pick Utah State's Shawn Murphy to compete with last year's fourth round draft pick Josh Beekman for the vacanted left guard spot. Murphy gets into blocks quickly and besides being durable, is very smart and hardworking. Upping Chris Williams' impressive feat, Murphy did not allow a single sack as a senior.

Round 7, # 47 (247) *compensatory pick* - Barry Booker, DT Virginia Tech

6-4, 277 LBS., 40 TIME: 5.12

Hokie defensive tackle Barry Booker is undersized which makes him best suited for playing in a one-gap system, which the Bears employ. He comes off the ball low and is quick and nimble through gaps. He shows a solid closing burst and is stout defending the run.

 
Round 7 # 48 (248 ) *compensatory pick* - Ryan Torain, RB Arizona St.

6-0 1/8, 213 LBS., 40-TIME: 4.56

Sundevil running back Ryan Torain has great size and good run strength. He fights hard for those extra yards and would make an ideal third down or goal line situational back. Plus, he has good enough hands to be adequate catching out of the backfield.
