ROUND 3: MAJOR WRIGHT, FS, FLORIDA

Wright declared early for the NFL Draft which is interesting because he’ll be overshadowed by players like Eric Berry and Taylor Mays. Luckily for the Bears, Wright should drop down to the third round. Wright is a ball hawk with amazing instincts, but is known for his aggressive hits. Only knock is his inability to make tackles in open space. He is the prototypical safety at 6’1’’ 205 and should be a steal if he drops down to the third.

ROUND 4: LeGARRETTE BLOUNT, RB, OREGON

Lount is probably one of the fastest risers in this years draft class. His off the field issues are a concern but his talent is undeniable. He is a taller back with great power who can get low, unlike Matt Forte, to run through defenders. He lacks break away speed but is one of the hardest players to tackle in the second or third level. The Bears need someone like Blount who can help in those goal-line situations.

ROUND 5: CIRON BLACK, OT, LSU

Okay, maybe the getting Black in the fifth round is a stretch but his ineffective senior year hurt his stock. An AP All-American third-teamer, Ciron Black had 53 consecutive starts at LSU, and in a league where durability is key, Black delivers. He’s just an old school, physical tackle at 6-5, 320. And size is something the Bears lack at the position. Although he was never flashy (I don’t think you can use that word to describe a lineman…) he was always reliable for all four years at LSU. A steal in round 5.

ROUND 6: MICAH JOHNSON, ILB, KENTUCKY

Kentucky's All-SEC linebacker, is a brick wall at 6-2 260 lbs. He played against some of the best offenses with a pedestrian defensive line helping and still played as one of the elite. The only reason he drops down this far is his weight, he is a little too beefy for a man his height, which results in lack of speed. Although he can’t keep his own in coverage, he is a for sure tackler with the uncanny ability to separate the ball from the opponent and could become one of the best run-stopping linebackers in the NFL. Again, Johnson has to slim down if he wants to play in Lovie’s defense which calls for swift linebackers.

ROUND 7: JIM DRAY, TE, STANFORD

A big target at 6-5 250. Has excellent hands and barely ever drops catchable passes has good speed to test defenses. His greatest ability is to block, an ability at the position that Mike Martz demands. He seals the edge well using his size and aggressiveness. A systematic pick in the seventh round.
