Looking at the Bears Undrafted Players

The Bears signed 10 players who were undrafted during the weekend’s festivities, and this article takes a closer look at the Bears’ undrafted talent.  According to this report, the Bears got quite a bit of talent after the draft, not the least of which is Nick Hill - a young quarterback the writer likens to Tony Romo.  That’s a bit of a stretch at the moment, but it’s nice to see someone showing some optimism.  The Bears surely got a few good players after the draft, but there is no reason to start believing that they have found the next Tony Romo yet.

I am heartened at the sight of an optimistic Bears story.  Since the draft, a majority of the stories in the Bears’ media circle have been negative.  Some of them have even been a more extreme version of negative that I honestly didn’t even realize existed until I started covering the Chicago Bears.  While I don’t buy into the whole “the sky is falling” argument, I also believe this article is a bit ahead of itself.  The Bears should be a better team this year than they were last year.  They need to make the playoffs, and they’ll need a QB to do that.  Only time will tell if they already have that QB on their roster.
