Which Direction Will the Bears Head in the Draft?

The Bears find themselves in a similar situation to their team from three years ago. How will they respond this time as we approach the draft?

The Bears find themselves in a really interesting spot as we head towards Thursday's first round selection. There's no doubt that at this point they are a team in transition - 5-11 teams are rarely established "win now" teams - but there are also enough established players that the right supplemental pick or instant starter, with improved coaching, could push the team into semi-contention.

The division might not be in reach, nor a wild-card berth, if last year's eleven-win wild-card berths continue to hold true, especially with one of those wild-card berths in the hand of the 11-win Detroit Lions.
