Yes, the Bears may not possess a first- or second-round pick in this year’s draft, but this doesn’t not mean they can’t find some talent in the later rounds.

It’s not as if every NFL squad consists of players from the first and second round. Heck, using recent history as a guide, the Bears have found more keepers in the later rounds, anyway.

For those wondering where the offensive linemen or DBs are coming from — both positions the Bears could stand to improve upon, and ones they have yet to shore up in free agency — Jeff Dickerson has a nice little list of guys the Bears may be keeping tabs on during the upcoming pro days: Robert Johnson, FS, Utah; Rodger Saffold, OT, Indiana (IU represent!); Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama; Larry Asante, SS, Nebraska; Marshall Newhouse, OG, TCU.

Some of these bros — including Saffold and Jackson — may not make it out of the second round. But if they do, the Bears could pounce.

Missing from this list? A wide receiver. The Bears continue to say they think they can develop the young corps of Johnny Knox, Devin Aromashodu and Devin Hester, and it’s probably unlikely the Bears can get an impact guy in the draft if they’re not picking till the third round regardless.

Yet, it remains to be seen if this young trio will blossom or not next season, and whether a true, go-to No. 1 will emerge.
