Chicago Bears: Analyzing the Role and Expectations of Each Player in the Draft

Chicago Bears GM Jerry Angelo and his henchmen presided over the NFL draft and they admittedly had a very good first day. And even the second day started off well with the selection of Stephen Paea, whom the Bears moved up to select in the second round.
But after that, the draft picks were not very exciting, at least to me. In fact, a couple were downright head- scratchers.
Also, that trade which helped net Paea cost the Bears their fourth round pick. Combine that with the fact that the Bears had no seventh rounder, and you can see why the remaining selections were very important.
Overall, the Bears filled critical needs on the offensive and defensive lines. But they ignored gaps at cornerback and receiver.
But this isn’t a report card; that has already been done. The purpose of this article is to examine the role that each of the Bears’ drafted players are expected to play in 2011 (and beyond), as they hopefully provide some immediate and long-term contributions to the team.
