Chicago Bears: GRADE: B
The Bears didn't expect Greg Olsen to be available that late in the
first round; he'll give Rex Grossman a solid pass-catching tight end.
Defensive end Dan Bazuin is perfect for the Bears' scheme. Garrett Wolfe
showed he could catch the ball during his workouts and has the potential
to be a good returner even though he wasn't asked to return kicks in
college. Wolfe will be a good change-of-pace running back and
potentially could be a very valuable part of this organization. Michael
Okwo is undersized for a linebacker, but he runs well and is a smart
player. In the fourth round, Chicago got really good value in Josh
Beekman. He can play center but will be a guard on this offensive line.
Kevin Payne is a versatile safety who makes plays and was a good
fifth-round pick; Corey Graham will fight for a roster spot at
cornerback and on special teams. Cornerback Trumaine McBride is a
marginal prospect.
