Greg Olsen, TE, Miami

Everyone thought the Bears would take TE last draft when the crop was pretty deep, however, a year later, Chicago gets its playmaking big boy. Olsen is 6′5′’ and has great hands and speed. He’ll be great in the seam for the Bears and immediately creates mismatches in the secondary. He needs to work on his blocking, but if the Bears can utilize Olsen’s abilities, he can be a great safety valve for sparatic Rex Grossman. But Olsen will be able to outrun linebackers with his 4.55 forty speed and will tower over safeties. Think Dallas Clark meets Jason Whitten. Olsen will be good.

Up next for the Bears …

With the fifth pick in the second round, I’m looking for the Bears to solidify the QB position by drafting either Michigan State’s Drew Stanton or Brigham Young’s John Beck. Both will compete in a few years for a starting spot. With Dwayne Jarrett and Steve Smith still on the board, though, wide receiver is a position they can address as well. But, it will be very tough to pass up on OLB Paul Poslusnzy, especially with a disgruntled Lance Briggs, if he’s still there.
