Daily Dose: March 25 - Jerry, you're on the clock

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

They say you can't judge an NFL draft until 3-4 years later (which I find absurd since the average length of most careers is about that long), so as we approach the 2008 draft, I figured it was time to look back at the 2004 Bears draft...

As is Jerry Angelo's M.O., he went mostly defense and several of the players listed below were very instrumental in the team's 2006 Super Bowl run. But it is worth noting who the team passed up to make their picks.

I have no issue with Tommie Harris, but I'd say aside from Nathan Vasher, they missed after that.

Tommie Harris.jpg1st round: No. 14 - Tommie Harris
passed on Michael Clayton (No. 15 to Tampa Bay); Shawn Andrews (No. 16 to Philadelphia); Will Smith (No. 18 to New Orleans); Vince Wolfork (No. 21 to New England); Steven Jackson (No. 24 to St. Louis)

Tank Johnson.jpg2nd round: No. 47 - Tank Johnson
passed on Devery Henderson (No. 50 to New Orleans)

3rd round: No. 78 - Bernard Berrian
passed on Chris Cooley (No. 81 to Washington); Matt Schaub (No. 90 to Atlanta);

No. 112 - Leon Joe
passed on Jared Allen (No. 126 to Kansas City)

5th round: No. 147 - Claude Harriott
No. 148 - Craig Krenzel
passed on Michael Turner (No. 154 to San Diego); DJ Hackett (No. 157 to Seattle)

7th round: No. 215 - Alfonso Marshall
passed on Patrick Crayton (No. 216 to Dallas)
