2012 NFL Mock Draft: 7-Round Chicago Bears Predictions

It seems like only one week ago that I presented my latest mock draft because…well…it was just one week ago. But this early in the prognosis, teams are changing their projections all the time, so I have to adjust the Bears’ picks accordingly.
With needs all over the place, there is no shortage of ways in which the Bears can go with this draft. And without a GM named yet, it’s difficult to know which way they’ll go.
They need to upgrade along the offensive line, at the wide receiver position and in the secondary, and they could use a pass-rusher to bookend with Julius Peppers.
Add in some linebacker depth, and it’s fairly easy to see that this is an important draft for a team that needs youth for the future but wants to win now.
After all, the clock is ticking on the veteran core of the defense, with Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman and Peppers all on the other side of 30.
So let’s take a look at this week’s mock, and compare it to my last Bears mock draft.
