[CBFF] 2008 NFL Draft Preview: Chris Williams - Associated Content

[mactbone]

If all four OTs are gone I would prefer the Bears take a RB or DT. Maybe safety if there's one good enough. Guards are easily found later in the draft and all of the WRs have a lot of doubts clinging to them.

In one of the ESPN mocks the top four OTs were all taken before we
pick at #14. In that scenario it might be better to maximize the value
of the draft slot by looking at another position or trading down.
