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.
