Draft Grades: Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears went into the 2010 NFL Draft without a selection in the first or second rounds. Their first round pick went to Denver for Jay Cutler, and the second rounder went to Tampa Bay for the late Gaines Adams. But with a deep draft the Bears were able to take some talented players.

Major Wright looks to move into the secondary and help right away. But the player who might be able to help the most is Corey Wootton. He was injured as a junior, and if he is healthy he can provide a pass rush opposite Julius Peppers.

The player I believe could be a sleeper for the Bears is Dan Lefevour. The reason I think this is that I'm not sold on Jay Cutler being the franchise quarterback everyone sees him to be. He is talented, but at times I see Jeff George out on the field when he was drafted to be another John Elway. Lovie Smith has shown to have an itchy trigger finger with quarterbacks. Lefevour can sit, learn the game and work on the mechanics of being an NFL quarterback. If Cutler doesn't not live up to the promise and the Bears see it to be time to make a change then Lefevour could be ready to play.

Draft Grade: C-
