Jerry Angelo Makes Best of Late Picks

Who moved to the head of the NFL class during the draft? Find out with FanHouse's team-by-team 2009 Draft Grades.

When the Bears made one of the biggest offseason splashes by trading for Jay Cutler, they were left without a first-round pick. Many Bears fans would argue this was a blessing in disguise, considering general manager Jerry Angelo's rocky history with first-round picks (David Terrell, Cedric Benson, Rex Grossman, Michael Haynes).

Still, there were more needs than just quarterback on this team for the near future. Would Angelo be able to fill all those holes with a bunch of second-day draft picks?

Angelo Content With Bears' Receivers

Ever since the Bears landed Jay Cutler, the media and fans alike have flooded the internet with bashing of the Bears receiving corps. Raise your hand if you've either said, heard someone say, or read someone else saying "Who's he going to throw to?" I'll just assume all hands are raised.

After drafting three Day 2 receivers, the Bears now have a group consisting of Devin Hester, Earl Bennett (pictured), Juaquin Iglesias, Rashied Davis, Johnny Knox and Derek Kinder. Yeah, yeah, I know: Cue the laugh track. Bears general manager Jerry Angelo, however, doesn't believe he needs to add anything via free agency. He's counting specifically on massive growth from Bennett, last year's third-round pick.
