Catching up on the Chicago Bears’ activities in rounds two through four of the 2012 NFL Draft: The second and third rounds of the draft were gambling picks for the Bears, according to the Chicago Tribune. In the second they took 6’3″, boom or bust receiver Alshon Jeffery from South Carolina. In the third, they [...]
I’ve been paying a great deal of attention to the NFL Draft and the Bears’ selections for about 20 years now. The Bears’ selection of DE Shea McClellin was a huge surprise to me, as it seems it was to many. The other Bears early draft surprises over the last 20 years have no bearing [...]
