Chicago Bears 2010 Draft Review

Disappointment and tragedy hung over the Bears' draft as their first round pick was a part of the Jay Culter trade and their second round pick was traded for the late Gaines Adams. Major Wright is looking to change the mood, as Chicago selected him with their first pick in the third round. Wright may be forced into the starting lineup because of a need at the position. Corey Wooten had a terrible injury which caused him to drop in the draft but, when healthy, he has the potential to make an instant impact. Dan Lefevour and J'Marcus Webb are nice developmental prospects and could make the practice squad. Chicago has improved through free agency, and if they can get contributions from their top picks, this draft will be a success.


Round 3, Pick 75

Major Wright, S, Florida

Ht: 5’ 11 ½” Wt: 206

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Wright is a product of an excellent secondary but the Bears are banking that their newly acquired pass rush will help improve their secondary play.  Wright is an excellent tackler and smart football player who will contribute immediately in some capacity, but his potential as a starter is limited.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Played in deep coverage for an exceptionally talented Florida defense that masked his coverage deficiencies, but is most comfortable reacting to plays in front of him. Is best-utilized as an in-the-box zone defender and should be a core special-teams player.

NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  NFL scouts like Wight’s speed and physicality and believe he’ll be able to make an immediate impact on special teams.  His big hitting and playmaking skills make him a quality free safety prospect. Though he improved his open-field tackling as a junior, he’ll need to continue to improve in the league if he is to make his mark as the last line of defense. 

109.)  Chicago Bears

Corey Wootton, DE, Northwestern

Ht: 6' 6" Wt:  270

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  An injury caused Wootton to fall this far.  Wootton should have been drafted much higher because he is a physically huge prospect and one of the few traditional 4-3 defensive end prospects in this draft.  The Bears are hoping Wootton's injury heals, and he can develop into a starting DE.  

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  NFL defensive coordinators covet edge players with Wootton’s length and speed because of the difficulties they present against the pass and run.  Both 3-4 and 4-3 defenses could use his skills, meaning several teams will consider taking him in the first round, especially if workouts prove his knee is 100 percent recovered from a 2008 ACL tear that slowed him in ’09.

141.)  Chicago Bears
Joshua Moore, DB, Kansas State
Ht: 5' 11" Wt: 188

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Moore is the type of prospect that flies under the radar often but the Bears know he could be a very good nickel corner.  Moore has decent size for his position, but his lack of speed will over shadow his excellent ability.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:   A narrow-framed, underdeveloped, more-quick-than-fast cover man with good ball skills, Moore was quietly productive for two seasons but could have used another year to fill out his frame and improve as a tackler. Could develop into a nickel corner and contribute on special teams.

NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.

181.)  Chicago Bears 
Dan LeFevour, QB, Central Michigan
Ht: 6' 3" Wt: 230

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  An intriguing prospect with some upside, LeFevour has a lot of work to do on his mechanics and needs to learn the nuances of the pro passing game.  

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  Although LeFevour’s average arm strength and lack of experience in a pro-style offense will be detriments to his draft stock, scouts are intrigued by his size and athletic ability.  

218.)  Chicago Bears
J'Marcus Webb, OT, West Texas A&M
Ht: 6' 8" Wt: 328

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Webb is a good pass protector but can be easily overpowered.  He needs to get stronger but could make the roster based on raw ability.

Round 7, Pick 218 - 222

218.)  Chicago Bears
J'Marcus Webb, OT, West Texas A&M
Ht: 6' 8" Wt: 328

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Webb is a good pass protector but can be easily overpowered.  He needs to get stronger but could make the roster based on raw ability.  

219.)  Washington Redskins

Terrence Austin, WR, UCLA

Ht: 5' 11" Wt: 172

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  A small receiver who is also an excellent returner, Austin fell because of obvious concerns regarding his size.  Should be able to help the Redskins if he can translate his speed to the NFL and stay healthy.

220.)  Philadelphia Eagles

Jamar Chaney, LB, Mississippi State

Ht: 6' 1" Wt: 242

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  An athletic linebacker who lacks instincts, Chaney was brought aboard to add depth and help on special teams.

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:  See-and-go reactor whose timed speed does not translate to the field, nor does he show the type of savvy expected of a three-year starter. Possesses athletic ability and movement skills to warrant interest as a “Will” linebacker, but Chaney works out better than he plays and will have to make his mark on special teams.

NFL projection: Mid-round pick.

221.)  New York Giants

Matt Dodge, P, East Carolina

Ht: 6' 1" Wt:  224

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Like many young punters, Dodge needs to work on his hang time, but he has the physical abilities to make it in the NFL.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:  Big, flexible punter with a powerful right leg who can unleash some bombs, which makes him draftable. Needs some refinement but could significantly impact a team’s field-position game.

NFL projection: Fourth- to fifth-round pick

222.)  Tennessee Titans

Marc Mariani, WR, Montana

Ht: 6' 0" Wt: 185

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  An averaged size receiver, his best shot is to make the Titans as a returner.

  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:  A good college football player with a chance to compete for a job as a slot receiver and return man in the pros, but may have to take the long route and prove himself all over again like he did when he arrived as a walk-on.

NFL projection: Priority free agent.

Round 6, Pick 180 - 184

180.)  Jacksonville Jaguars
Deji Karim, RB, Southern Illinois
Ht:  5' 11" Wt: 205

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Jacksonville is in need of depth at running back, and Karim is an adequate addition.  He may have been brought him to play special teams.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:  Functional runner who takes what a defense gives him but has few standout traits and could struggle to translate his production to the pro level.

NFL projection: Late draftable pick.

181.)  Chicago Bears 
Dan LeFevour, QB, Central Michigan
Ht: 6' 3" Wt: 230

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  An intriguing prospect with some upside, LeFevour has a lot of work to do on his mechanics and needs to learn the nuances of the pro passing game.  

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  Although LeFevour’s average arm strength and lack of experience in a pro-style offense will be detriments to his draft stock, scouts are intrigued by his size and athletic ability.  

182.)  San Francisco 49ers
Nate Byham, TE, Pittsburgh
Ht:  6' 4" Wt: 268

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Byham is another tight end brought in for his blocking capabilities and could help SF out in the two tight end formation. 

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  Byham’s lack of quickness will downgrade him into the second half of the draft, but his versatility makes him a valued commodity to teams needing a solid backup to help move the chains and get the ground game going.

183.)  Denver Broncos
Eric Olsen, C, Notre Dame
Ht: 6' 4" Wt: 306

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Olsen joins the parade of new Broncos with high character and effort.  A smart player who could work his way in to the starting line up eventually. 

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  Olsen has significant experience at guard, and was named the team’s top lineman after being charged with just one sack allowed last season.  Although not an elite athlete, Olsen’s nastiness and versatility will endear him to NFL offensive line coaches and could land him a spot in the first 150 selections. 

184.)  New York Giants
Adrian Tracy, DE, William and Mary
Ht: 6' 3" Wt: 248

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Tracy is an undersized developmental project that was dominate in the conference in which he played.  Needing to gain strength and understanding of the pro-game, Tracy is a long shot to make the team but could develop into a rotational defensive end.

Round 5, Pick 137 - 141

137.)  Denver Broncos
Perrish Cox, CB, Oklahoma State

Ht: 5' 11" Wt: 195

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Cox is another prospect whose numbers are not indicative of his play on the field.  He is an excellent returner and provides value for the Broncos right away.  He could develop into an excellent nickel corner or possibly a starting corner.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:   Overhyped press-and-trail, non- contact corner with intriguing ball skills and kick-return ability that have bloated his value. Pedestrian 40-time, lack of physicality and off-coverage limitations will turn off zone-cover teams. Is too undisciplined on and off the field, and his talent might not be worth the headache a team incurs by bringing him into the clubhouse. Has impact potential as a returner but comes with a “buyer beware” label.

NFL projection: Second- to third-round pick.

138.)  Oakland Raiders
Walter McFadden, DB, Auburn

Ht: 5' 11" Wt: 172

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  McFadden is a prototype nickel corner and one of the sleepers in this draft.  He could help the Raiders immediately because of his excellent instincts and disciplined play.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:   Confident, competitive, thinly built man-cover corner with speed who has a knack for shadowing receivers. Lack of stature is limiting, but most of his flaws are coachable, and he will be one of the first non-Combine participants off the board.

NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.

139.)  New York Jets
John Conner, RB, Kentucky

Ht: 5' 11" Wt: 246

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  My favorite player in the entire draft, "The Terminator" is what every football team wants in a football player.  Willing to play special teams and a violent run and pass blocker, the Jets have found a way to improve their run game even more.  Conner plays football like a bull in a china shop.   

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  The few NFL teams still longing for a throwback will keep tabs on Conner.  A former walk-on, he emerged as a valuable special teams performer and lead blocker early in his career.  As head coach Rich Brooks gained more trust in him, Conner was used more often as a receiver and runner.

140.)  Buffalo Bills
Ed Wang, OT, Virginia Tech

Ht: 6' 5" Wt: 314

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Wang, the former left tackle for VT, does not have the elite speed to take on the best NFL pass rushers.  He could be an excellent left guard and has the opportunity to come in and start for a Bills' line that is lacking in talent.  

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  A former tight end, Wang is a work in progress and struggled with penalties last season.  Scouts would also like to see him add more strength and toughness.  However, teams will have a hard time ignoring his intriguing combination of size and pure athletic ability in the middle rounds.  Wang should be able to provide a team with a legitimate developmental prospect as left tackle. 

141.)  Chicago Bears
Joshua Moore, DB, Kansas State

Ht: 5' 11" Wt: 188

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Moore is the type of prospect that flies under the radar often but the Bears know he could be a very good nickel corner.  Moore has decent size for his position, but his lack of speed will over shadow his excellent ability.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:   A narrow-framed, underdeveloped, more-quick-than-fast cover man with good ball skills, Moore was quietly productive for two seasons but could have used another year to fill out his frame and improve as a tackler. Could develop into a nickel corner and contribute on special teams.

NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.

Round 4, Picks 105 - 109

105.)  Philadelphia Eagles
Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky

Ht:  5' 11" Wt: 183

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Lindley is a small corner with a history of injury concerns.  The reason why he was drafted is his excellent ball skills.  He always seems to be around the football either knocking it down or intercepting it.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report:  Battled ankle pain as a senior but was a very productive four-year starter despite entering the program weighing 154 pounds. Lean, underpowered, finesse cover man who lacks the physicality and toughness to withstand the pro game and could struggle to stick on a roster.

NFL projection: Late draftable pick. 

106.)  Oakland Raiders

Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland

Ht: 6’ 6 3/8” Wt: 314

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  A rare athlete, Campbell's physical abilities have not related directly to his play - yet. Rumored to be Oakland's first round pick, they did an excellent job of selecting him in the appropriate place as he is a developmental prospect.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Looks like the eighth wonder of the world and is a first-round cinch on talent alone but is far from a finished product and should be considered a developmental project at this stage in his career. Still must learn how to run block and polish his feet and technique in pass protection and prove he can stay healthy. A bold decision maker will likely gamble on his great upside in the first round, hinging on his “special” talent and banking that he will be able to hone his athletic gifts. Is most ideally suited for a zone-blocking scheme. A gamble-on-greatness pick.

NFL projection: First-round pick.

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  A starter at left tackle since his sophomore season, teams consider Campbell a top 50 prospect because of his frame, length and agility.  But his relative lack of experience and consistency as a run blocker both on the line and in space will make scouts wonder if he’ll be an elite player on the next level.

107.)  Buffalo Bills

Marcus Easley, WR, Connecticut

Ht: 6' 3" Wt: 210

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Easley is an intriguing prospect in the fact that he has great height, weight, speed ratio.  He will need time to develop, but unfortunately does not have a lot of depth in front of him.  

Lindy’s Sports scouting report: After sitting out football during his first year at UConn, Easley walked on and spent his first three seasons primarily blocking for a run-first team.  He impressed during spring drills last year, finally earning a scholarship, and went on to catch 48 passes.  Easley is still extremely raw, but has a good combination of size, speed and willingness to block.

108.)  Oakland Raiders 

Jacoby Ford, WR, Clemson

Ht: 5' 9" Wt: 186

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Ford is blazing fast.  The problem is it seems to be more track speed than actual football speed.  Perhaps he can help out on special teams, but I don't see him developing into a full-time receiver for the Raiders.  

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  Due to his dynamic speed, Ford is often miscast only as a deep threat.  He showed improved toughness across the middle and attention to detail as a route-runner in 2009, emerging for the first time in his career as Clemson’s leading receiver.  His 56 receptions for 779 yards and six touchdowns earned him second-team All-ACC honors.     

109.)  Chicago Bears

Corey Wootton, DE, Northwestern

Ht: 6' 6" Wt:  270

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  An injury caused Wootton to fall this far.  Wootton should have been drafted much higher because he is a physically huge prospect and one of the few traditional 4-3 defensive end prospects in this draft.  The Bears are hoping Wootton's injury heals, and he can develop into a starting DE.  

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  NFL defensive coordinators covet edge players with Wootton’s length and speed because of the difficulties they present against the pass and run.  Both 3-4 and 4-3 defenses could use his skills, meaning several teams will consider taking him in the first round, especially if workouts prove his knee is 100 percent recovered from a 2008 ACL tear that slowed him in ’09.

Round 3, Pick 75 - Chicago Bears - Major Wright

Major Wright, S, Florida

Ht: 5’ 11 ½” Wt: 206

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Wright is a product of an excellent secondary but the Bears are banking that their newly acquired pass rush will help improve their secondary play.  Wright is an excellent tackler and smart football player who will contribute immediately in some capacity, but his potential as a starter is limited.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Played in deep coverage for an exceptionally talented Florida defense that masked his coverage deficiencies, but is most comfortable reacting to plays in front of him. Is best-utilized as an in-the-box zone defender and should be a core special-teams player.

NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  NFL scouts like Wight’s speed and physicality and believe he’ll be able to make an immediate impact on special teams.  His big hitting and playmaking skills make him a quality free safety prospect.  Though he improved his open-field tackling as a junior, he’ll need to continue to improve in the league if he is to make his mark as the last line of defense.

Rush Delivery

Courtesy of Sports Illustrated

Every year in the NFL Draft, after the players we have been hearing about for months have all been selected, a player gets taken by our favorite team in the fifth round, and - as a fan - our reaction is: "who?"

Elite passers, pass blockers, and pass rushers are viewed as premium positions in the NFL. Rookies that might be too small, not great run defenders, or might be more effort type players than athletes can find a place in the NFL as pass rush specialists.

Examples of players being drafted in the middle to late rounds and making an impact on a team's pass rush have happened.

Elvis Dumervil was drafted in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He had 8.5 sacks in his rookie year and last year led the NFL with 17 sacks.

Mark Anderson was drafted in the fifth round by the Chicago Bears in 2006 and had 12 sacks his rookie season.

So here is a preview of the 2010 draft's possible mid to late round "pass rush specialists":

Greg Hardy, Mississippi:  Once viewed as a first round pick, Hardy has the size, strength, and pass rush moves to help a team out as a pass rush specialist immediately.  Injuries and inconsistent play will prevent him from being drafted in the first two rounds.

Antonio Coleman, Auburn:  An undersized defensive end prospect at 6' 1" and 255 pounds, Coleman's competitiveness and athleticism will get him drafted and possibly earn a role in a team's defensive rotation.  Expect him to be drafted in the late rounds.

George Selvie, South Florida:  Another undersized player who had an ultra productive sophomore season.  Has a nonstop motor that could result in some sacks for the team willing to overlook his stature. A possible 5th or 6th round pick.

Rahim Alem, LSU:  Alem has the physical makeup to be a 1st or 2nd round pick. He has been tagged with the "inconsistent motor" label and struggles with his technique. If he could be coached up, he could be the best player out of this group.  Expect him to be a late round pick.

Kevin Basped, Nevada:  Basped entered the draft after his junior season.  At 6'4" 258 pounds, he has good size; however, he has struggled to stay healthy and having played in the WAC limits him.  He is a developmental prospect but could come in and make an impact on third downs next season.  Expect him to be drafted after the fourth round.

Greg Middleton, Indiana:  Another prospect who had an awesome sophomore year, his last two seasons have left more questions than answers.  Inconsistent effort has plagued him, but when he's good, he's really good.  He could help strictly as a pass rusher.  Look for him to be drafted in the late rounds.

Lindsey Witten, UConn:  Younger brother of Buffalo Bills' Safety Donte Whitner, Witten is a excellent athlete.  After having seven sacks in his first two games of the 2009 season, he was hospitalized with a mysterious illness and lost a lot of weight.  Could be converted into a 3-4 outside linebacker.  Expect him to be drafted anywhere after the beginning of the third round.

O'Brien Schofield, Wisconsin:  Could either be a 3-4 outside linebacker or a 4-3 pass rush specialist. Schofield is undersized but has excellent athletic ability.  He tore his ACL at the Senior Bowl and will probably not be ready for the beginning of the regular season.  Schofield is my personal favorite and will be a steal if someone selects him.  Plan on him being a late draft pick or free agent signing.

Pay Agency

 Former Chicago Bears' defensive end Alex Brown is visiting the Saints today. That isn't huge news. The huge news is the Saints are actually having a free agent visit. Can anyone say "Mardi Gras party"?


The "Final Eight Plan" has left a quarter of the League inactive in free agency. If you're impatient and don't want to click on the link, here is the short version:  all the teams that made it to the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs (the final eight) have to lose a free agent before they are able to sign another free agent in his place.  Additionally, the "Final Four" have financial restrictions on top of that.


This has led the "Final Eight" (Jets, Colts, Vikings, Saints, Cardinals, Cowboys, Chargers, Ravens) to sign a grand total of 6 unrestricted free agents and sign about eight more players that had been cut (which doesn't count against the "Final Eight Plan").


The list of free agents reads like the police blotter in a town with a population of only 150 people - unimpressive and without real action. In this fictional scenario, where the town drunk is the most exciting person to hit the papers, LaDainian Tomlinson would play the "Otis" (by virtue of almost signing with the Vikings and actually inking a contract with the Jets), and the rest of the players who have signed would just be speeders going through town.


So in my first offseason as a football writer, I want to thank you, NFL, for making 25% of my potential readers bored out of their minds. I can't wait until the draft. Cue The Andy Griffith Show theme........

Can the Bears Bare T.O.?

Before I make my point, let me offer you a few facts.

Thanks to the Jay Cutler trade, the Bears are missing their 1st and 3rd round pick in this year's NFL Draft. 

The team's current wide receiver corps consists of Devin Hester, Earl Bennett, Johnny Knox, and Devin Aromashodu. 

They have brought in personnel, perceived as malcontents from other teams, such as Jay Cutler, Mike Martz, and Julius Peppers. 

Their two best defensive players, Tommie Harris and Brian Urlacher, are aging veterans and have had injury problems in recent seasons. 


Team President, Ted Phillips, was quoted as saying, “There’s a fine line sometimes between winning and losing, but we expect to win now in 2010.” That means General Manager, Jerry Angelo, and Head Coach, Lovie Smith, have to win now.

So my question is: why not sign Terrell Owens? If the key players in the organization are looking to win now, sign the future Hall of Fame receiver for one year.


He is not the deep threat he once was, but he still runs excellent routes and is not afraid to go over the middle. He could teach the Bears' young receivers a trick or two along the way.


Perhaps the Bears are waiting to see what will be available at the receiver postion during the draft, but signing a veteran like Owens before hand could allow you to draft for another position.


I'm no NFL G.M., but this one seems like a no-brainer. Then again, so did the Bears drafting Curtis Enis.
