I'm a biased Illini fan, but he's special. He has all the intangibles. Catches well, blocks well and he's big enough to be an every down back. The Bears 0-line is pretty awful, but they'll need more than a few draft picks to make it good again. Mendenhall will be a STUD, guys. I’m a biased Illini fan, but he’s special.

My point is that if the lineman available aren't guaranteed starters and above-average pros, then why not take Mendenhall. I'm reading things about Otah, Clady and Cherilus that I don't like. And Clady might already be gone. I figured you would go that way. My point is that if the lineman available aren’t guaranteed starters and above-average pros, then why not take Mendenhall.

I think we should go O-line. IF Mendenhall is available at 14 there could be a move to trade down. Most are speculating that the Lions (picking right after us) are looking at Mendenhall. Trading down would equal approximately the trade partners 1st and 2nd round pick. Something like 27th and 59th overall. If that scenario doesn't play out I'm hoping we're able to grab one of the top 4 linemen. I disagree. I think we should go O-line.
