As we know, the Bears have several glaring needs. I've decided to browse some mock draft sites, which have the Bears down around the 10 or 11 spot in the first round order, and there are some interesting ideas.
As far as the "glam" positions, the Bears are in need of a QB and probably a RB. Most sites I read are predicting Kentucky QB Andre Woodson, who is in the "Big Three" quarterback ring for this draft. He's considered to be the quarterback with the biggest upside, as well as the worst downside if not properly developed. If the Bears decide to trade for Donovan McNabb or Derek Anderson and thus forgo the drafting of Andre Woodson, then they will go for one of three possible players, provided they all decide to come out early: Oregon RB Jonathan Stewart, FS Kenny Phillips out of Miami, or potentially OT Ryan Clady from Boise State.
Here are the proposed first round ideas according to WalterFootball.com:
1st Round: Andre' Woodson, QB, Kentucky 
Rex Grossman's audition is over. He's done for the year, which is a shame because he was having the best stretch of his career since the beginning of the 2006 season. With Grossman out of commission, I don't think the Bears can afford to keep their quarterbacking situation static.
There is a chance the Bears go after Derek Anderson or Donovan McNabb. If that happens, I could see them drafting Kenny Phillips, Ryan Clady or Jonathan Stewart.
Downlow on Woodson:
Height: 6-5. Weight: 230.
40 Time: 4.72.
Projected Round: Top 15 Pick.
Andre' Woodson was 20-of-29 for 250 yards and three touchdowns, still very accurate, showing last season wasn't a fluke. However, he did a few things that bothered me. He still held on to the football too long a few times instead of throwing it away. I thought he would improve on this, one of his biggest weaknesses. He missed one throw high to Keenan Burton on an out route. When he misses throws, he missses them high. I think an NFL coach might be able to fix this.

Looks like a lot of people are hopping aboard the Woodson bandwagon. I moved him up to No. 2 on my quarterback rankings.
Very underrated. No one knows who he is, yet he led the SEC in passing yards. Threw 31 TDs and just 7 INTs, completing 63 percent of his passes in the process. Was 26-of-37 for 210 yards and a touchdown at Florida.
and the alternate decisions: 
Jonathan Stewart*, Oregon (10/28)
Height: 5-11. Weight: 230.
40 Time: 4.49.
Projected Round: Top 15 Pick.
Jonathan Stewart carried the ball just 15 times at Michigan, but he gained 113 yards and a touchdown in the process. His Jerome Bettis style of running could entice the Steelers or Falcons to draft him early.
Currently the best big back projected to go in the 2008 Draft. Rushed for 981 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2006. Stewart became a bigger threat in the passing game last year, increasing his receptions from seven to 20.
(If McNabb were to be signed, the relationship between he and potential draftee Jonathan Stewart would be a match made in Heaven because of Stewarts ability to be a receiver.)
Kenny Phillips*, FS, Miami
Height: 6-2. Weight: 202.
40 Time: 4.40.
Projected Round: Top 10 Pick.
The top-rated safety eligible for the 2008 Draft, Kenny Phillips missed a portion of the 2006 season with a broken hand. Managed to pick off four passes in nine games. The 4.48 is an old time; I expect Phillips to run a 4.3 at the Combine. Check out
NFL Draft Dog's Scouting Report on Phillips.
(I expect that if the Bears chose to go with Phillips, he might prove to be a worthy replacement for Mike Brown.)
Ryan Clady*, Boise State
Height: 6-6. Weight: 319.
40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round: Top 20 Pick.
Like Eric VandenHeuvel, Ryan Clady should wait until 2009. He paved the way for Ian Johnson, who ran on everyone last year.
These were ideas for the first round. As for the second and third round:
2nd Round: Tony Hills, OT, Texas 
The Bears need to look into drafting an offensive tackle, given that the rapidly aging John Tait and Fred Miller will be 33 and 35, respectively, come April.
Height: 6-6. Weight: 305.
40 Time: 4.99.
Projected Round: 2.
Started every game for Texas in 2006. Can play special teams. Nice 40 for his size.
Round 3rd : Dre Moore, DT, Maryland 
The defensive tackle position is in a state of flux for the Bears, given that Alfonso Boone and Ian Scott signed with other teams, while Tank Johnson was cut so he could pursue his life-long aspirations to hunt with Dick Cheney. It's gotten so bad Chicago has started signing guys off the street. Dre Moore fits perfectly into Lovie Smith's scheme.
Height: 6-4. Weight: 298.
40 Time: 4.82.
Projected Round: 2.
Dre Moore played out of his mind against West Virginia. Steve Slaton simply couldn't run in Moore's direction, as the senior defensive tackle was in the Mountaineers' backfield the majority of the plays. He really improved his draft stock.
That 4.82 is not a misprint. Moore, who excels at stopping the run and getting to the quarterback, is a workout warrior. He'll bench 225 pounds at least 30 times. He has also notched a 34-inch vertical in the past. An expected, excellent combine may get Moore into the first round.
