Chicago Bears

Needs Analysis: It had to be torture waiting until pick No. 75 to make their first selection, but the Bears wisely refused to move up and mortgage their future once again. They went defense for the first of their five picks, but failed to address their concerns at offensive tackle until the seventh round. Some would think with all the throwing Mike Martz does, that the Bears would have drafted more receivers. I was told, however, that Martz doesn't want a lot of receivers in camp.

Round 3, Pick 11 (75) Major Wright FS 5'11" 206 Florida 6.8 --

Pick Analysis: The Bears have struggled at safety over the past few years, and the selection of Major Wright is an attempt to finally shore up the spot. He has solid overall skills, and gives Chicago a steady presence in the middle of the field. Given the team's preference for playing two-deep coverage, Wright's consistent play is a welcome addition.
Round 4, Pick 11 (109) Corey Wootton DE 6'6" 270 Northwestern 7.9 --
Pick Analysis: The Bears add an underrated defensive player with the selection of Corey Wootton. The versatile playmaker has the size and skills to play multiple positions along the line, and has the potential to emerge as a playmaker in the Bears' up-field rush scheme. A torn ACL in 2008 hindered his play last season, but he could outplay his draft status as he regains his health in future years.
Round 5, Pick 10 (141) Joshua Moore DB 5'11" 188 Kansas State 2.1 --
Video
Pick Analysis: The Bears add another corner for depth in their secondary with the selection of Joshua Moore. The Bears have struggled in the back end over the past few seasons, and Moore becomes another player that will compete for time at the position.
Round 6, Pick 12 (181) Dan LeFevour QB 6'3" 230 Central Michigan 6.4 --
Video
Pick Analysis: Jay Cutler is entrenched as the Bears' starting quarterback, but Chicago lacks an experienced backup. LeFevour was considered by some to be one of the best quarterbacks in the draft, and is a good value at this point. He will be able to learn from Mike Martz and develop slowly behind Cutler.
Round 7, Pick 11 (218) J'Marcus Webb OT 6'8" 328 West Texas AM -- --
Pick Analysis: As a small-school prospect with exceptional size, Webb is a long-term prospect that could eventually develop into a solid backup for the Bears. Webb has decent athleticism for his size, but will need to get stronger at the pro level.
