Chicago NFL Draft 2013

By Joseph Zalewski

The Chicago Bears are just days away from the 2013 NFL Draft. Chicago has the 20th, 50th, 117th, 153rd, and 188th pick this year. Notable Chicago has no 3rd round pick this year they traded it away to Miami for the trade with Brandon Marshall. that being said Chicago has the one of the fewest pick in the draft this year so every pick is going to have to count. Phil Emery has done a great job since becoming GM and I expect him to do what is best for Chicago when in reguards to the draft. Chicago like I said has the 20th pick in the first round. Chicago has needs a LB, OL and DL I could easily see Chicago taking anyone of those positions in the first round. But Emery has also said some teams have shown intrerest in trading Chicago for the 20th pick. I do think it is something worth considering since Chicago having one of fewest pick in this years draft. If the best player available does not fit a major need for Chicago i can see Chicago trading it to get more picks. Pick 50th i can see Chicago going any number of ways in round 2 WR, LB,OL,DL,CB,TE anyone of these are a possiablity for Chicago, has a need for WR with the retirement of Johnny Knox and Devin Hester going back to being a returner only. Linebacker with the lose of Brian Urlacher and Nick Roach Chicago has a need at Linebacker. Offensive Line Chicago has not protected Jay Cutler well at all and as Chicago attempts to build that new look line a Linemen is never a bad pick. Defensive Line Chicago lost a bit of there D-Line rotation its all about getting to the QB so getting someone who can pressure the QB is never a bad thing. Corner Back Tilman is getting old and in a division with Arron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford a cornerback could definitely help. TE I do hear Chicago might be intrested in the Tight End from Notre Dame, having two Tight ends who could catch and block would make Chicago a very hard team to defend kinda like the Patriots. Again no pick in round 3 cause of the trade for Brandon Marshall. Pick 117th 4th round Chicago i would think would go OL,DL,CB,DB,WR. In these later rounds you are look for those hidden gems. Chicago new linemen Bushrod was a hidden gem for New Orleans lets hope Phil Emery can find a few gems toward these last few rounds. Pick 153rd like i said hidden gems but go with what you need OL,DL,CB,DB,WR. Pick 153rd i would not mind going with a QB to back up Cutler maybe Jordan Rodger, Jay knows him well both went to vandy and Cutler helped him coming up and Joradn is jsut a great athlete and has a chip on his shoulder. Plus with Cutler being one hit away from retirement with all his concussions history its not a bad pick. Now only a few days before we welcome the newest Chicago Bears enjoy the draft everyone and BEARDOWN.
