| Chicago Bears NewsNews » Grading the Bears' draft |
|
|---|
 Let's face it: The Bears' draft was built around Jay Cutler. They gave up their first-round pick, swapped a third-rounder for a fifth-rounder, gave up next year's first-rounder and threw in Kyle Orton for good measure to land a 25-year-old Pro Bowl quarterback. The Cutler move changes everything. Had the Bears swung a deal for Anquan Boldin, they might have had the most successful draft in team history without having to make a pick. Instead, the Bears added nine players on the second day, and the theme was speed and energy. They got three receivers to fill one or two spots, including a fifth-rounder, Johnny Knox, who might be able to beat Devin Hester in a foot race. Addressing the defensive line was an obvious and correct move. The Bears have been bragging about Rod Marinelli as a miracle worker, and his job will get easier with players scrambling to make the roster. The Bears' new hotbed is Vanderbilt; ex-Commodores Cutler, Chris Williams and Earl Bennett are joined by ballhawking cornerback D.J. Moore. Third-round receiver Juaquin Iglesias might be that most elusive of players from Oklahoma -- a healthy one. He didn't need so much as a single X-ray at the combine.
