I'll be happy with McFadden, Mendenhall or Jones.

But on Monday, he was spotted in Fayetteville, Ark., having lunch with running backs Darren McFadden and Felix Jones. I have the Bears taking Illinois running back Rashard Mendenhall at No. 14, but perhaps they're thinking about moving up to select McFadden, who is currently the No. 4 pick according to the Hash Mock Draft.
