The Bears are well known for having superior defenses, and with a defense that did very well last season, they are going to want to make sure that they continue to keep it up for the 2011 season.
Without that strong defense, it’s doubtful that they would have gotten to where they ended up (in the NFC Championship Game). That defense was clearly the biggest reason why Chicago had success last season.
Now it’s time that the Bears made some upgrades to that defense, and there is no better way to do that, aside from free agency, than through the NFL draft.
The Bears’ defensive tackle position has seen its struggles from time to time and needs some help. With Tommie Harris most likely headed out of town this offseason, the Bears will be on the lookout for someone to replace him and provide them with some extra depth on the defensive line.

Will they be able to find someone to help give them some depth at the defensive tackle position?
Let’s take some time to look at five prospects that are working out at the combine at the defensive line position that might interest the Bears.
