Benson might fit in Chicago
The Bears shouldn't be considered in the aforementioned trade scenario because they're just as willing to draft a top wide receiver – Edwards or Williams – as they are a running back. They are, however, more enamored with Benson than many realize. The goal is to draft an offensive playmaker with the fourth overall pick, and the wish list is as follows: Edwards, Benson, Brown, Mike Williams and Carnell Williams.
The Bears need an offensive playmaker and they may have their eye on Cedric Benson. The Bears certainly will entertain offers to trade down, but it would have to be for multiple picks. Benson is the team's personal favorite due to the system Ron Turner will run as first-year offensive coordinator.
Much like his brother, Norv (the Raiders head coach), Ron's offensive system is designed around the power running attack, which helps open things up for the vertical passing game. The scary part for Benson, however, is that if the Bears don't take him at No. 4, he could free fall down to the Texans at No. 13 or the Panthers at No. 14, especially if the Cardinals (No. 8) get a deal done for Henry.
