The Chicago Bears got almost nothing from their rookies in 2011

The Bears’ 2011 NFL Draft was an utter disaster, plain and simple.  Here is a look at what the Bears’ rookie draft class did in 2011: 23-year old OT Gabe Carimi came to the Bears in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.  He filled a huge need for the Bears until his season ended very early due to knee surgery.  Carimi played in 2 games (both starts) for the Bears last year...
