YES! Finally a good bears draft pick!

If I remeber correctly, weren't the Chicago fans fairly pumped up over Benson and Enis as well? Since Payton, you guys have hit a tragic slide in the RB's department.

PLEASE take him. Lions need an O-line before they grab any half backs.
Plus the draft is deep in RBs, and Mendenhall is a bit of a gamble that high, since he has never run from a pro-style offense.

"Will Bears beat Lions"? Question of the day. Please show your work.

who was the last great runner in the NFL from the Big 10?
Eddie George?

Tim Biakabutuka! Not sure if its true, just fun to say.

biminator:
Forget saying it, spelling it correctly is impressive. Try the real name Tshimanga Biakabutuka. I'll bet his high school coach just referred to him as "Hey you" or just referred to him by his jersey number.

How dare you forget about Neil Anderson????

I wish Mendenhall was an Eagle....I love this guy and he'd make Westbrook even more dangerous.

You both forgot about Rashard Salaam, Heisman winner form Colorado. A real gem!!

Chicago is one of the last places I would want to play. What a dump!

I never wanted Cedric Benson at all. I wanted the Bears to draft Braylon Edwards.
Benson had too many carries at Texas and looked burned out when he came into the NFL.
I dont believe that Mendenhall will be there at 14 anyway. Why not trade up for a change and take the guy that you really need.

Oh..... and Packer fans like their boyfriends **** just like their screen names.
Right Broadhead?

Thank whatever deity you worship that you won't have to.

Big mistake. OT OT OT!!! and then WR. You have to draft need at this point.

If the Bears draft Mendenhall, then they need to cut Benson. Let's face it, Cedric is a bust, is not a team player and is basically a me first type of guy. CUT him!

Not a Bears fan but my gosh are they competing with the Lions for most stubborn draft tactics. Will Lions drafing a WR while Bears draft rb?

Seriously the Bears need to fix the O-Line. RB, QB, nobody is going to have success until they address those issues. Matter of fact they should draft O-line with their first two picks if they are serious about improvement.

Broadhead......what's your grip with Chicago.......oew you're from Green Bay!
That's the ticket!!!

Broadhead likes to rip on Chicago and hides his profile so we don't see what kind of strip mall suburb he lives in. He probably thinks the Olive Garden is fine dining.
Get a clue.

Draft Mendenhall and keep Benson as #2. He ran much better in 06 as a two man system.

There's a new Chili's opening up in Green Bay.

ok first off, i dont think we should draft a running back when our OL is extremely old and it has gaps bigger than the one between david lettermans teeth.

brown, gone, miller, gone, big gaps people...we need tackles and guards...but i wouldnt doubt we'd draft yet another running back...and why not make it easier for him to adjust to the crowd by coming home.
