With the 14th overall pick, here is where the Bears should set their sites on April 26th. This is in order by preference, draft the highest rated player still on the board:
1. LT Ryan Clady - A solid LT who could start on opening day.
2. RB Rashard Mendenhall - A rare specimen of speed, power and game-breaking ability.
3. LT Chris Williams - A still-developing LT but definitely NFL-ready
4. OT Jeff Otah - Projects as a mauling RT with his huge size
5. OG Brendan Albert - Though some believe Albert could be a LT at the next level, that transition would take time. He'd be an opening day starter at Guard for any team.
6. LB Keither Rivers - The best LB in the draft and a possible need given Brian Urlacher's medical questions and Lance Briggs's attitude (and possible jail time).
7. QB Brian Brohm - If Matt Ryan is #1 in the draft, Brian Brohm is 1A. A solid QB with a good arm who could develop into a franchise quarterback in the NFL.
8. RB Johnathan Stewart - Coming back from turf-toe I do not like taking anyone who will be questionable heading into the season. That's why Brohm grades out ahead of Stewart.
