4th Round

Sometimes life can be pretty cruel to a player but generous to a team. Jake Butt is a perfect example. The Michigan tight end looked like he was a destined to be a lock for the top 50 picks. Instead a poorly-timed knee injury in the Orange Bowl put his stock in serious flux. Odds are teams won’t want to risk a pick on him too early. Thus he could very easily fall to early Day 3 where the Bears eagerly pounce. If he heals properly, they’ve just solved a huge issue at tight end.. TE. Michigan. Jake Butt . 4. player. 57

4th Round (via BUF)

57. The Bears are going to be hunting for plenty of help at the cornerback position. Odds are free agency will be a major source, but don’t expect them to ignore a strong draft class as well. Dwayne Thomas is lost in the shadow of teammate Tre’Davious White, but LSU is a factory for quality corners. Thomas isn’t getting much attention due to his modest production but the tape reveals a corner with size and range who can play inside or outside.. CB. LSU. Dwayne Thomas . 5. player
