The Chicago Bears Future: Could it Include DeSean Jackson?

Found January 03, 2012 on The Penalty Flag: Yardbarker Blogger Network

TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  Chicago Bears

Could anyone have predicted that the Chicago Bears would finish 2011 with an 8-8 record and on the outside looking in of the NFL playoffs?  Yep.  I did.  The Bears came into the season with question marks on the offensive line and at wide receiver.  Oddly enough, those were some of the same questions that plagued them throughout 2010 and little was done in the abbreviated off-season to correct them.     Chicago will pick 19th in the upcoming NFL draft.  Mock drafts are all over the place with the Bears right now.  Some have them taking Luke Kuechly, LB out of Boston College.  The logic behind this would be to bring in an eventual successor to Brian Urlacher, especially given the way his season ended.  Another mock has the Bears taking Kendall Wright, WR out of Baylor.  As a senior, Wright was the primary target for Heisman winner Robert Griffin III as he caught 108 passes for over 1600 yards and 14 touchdowns this season.  Wright would immediately bolster Chicago’s pedestrian receiv...
