why would the bears take rice in round 1 with beason still on the board?...especially since rice (if he was a target) would most likely be there at 37?
the bears wont take lynch even if he slips that far, with the tank johnson fallout there is a snowball's chance in hell that the bears take another character risk.
why would the bears take dahl in round 4 with nate harris still on the board?
i don't get this draft for the bears at all.

Character risks are all relative. People seem to think just because a guy has a character issue problem he's an automatic liability. I think teams learn a lot more about character when they meet these players. Remember how marlin jackson slipped because of character or kelley washington or Fred Smoot...
2 of These guys went on to become premier free agents and the other put his team in the superbowl by beating the colts arch nemesis: the pats.
Mark Chmura wasn't a character risk on draft day. Dmitrijs underwood wasn't if i remember correctly and neither was Neil Robbins or Rae Carruth. On the other hand Ray Lewis slipped because of character issues and teams let themselves be talked out of Dan Marino in 83 because of some majiuana rumors. Just because its listed on some website as so and so has character issues doesn't make it so...I think teams approach players this same way. having someone in the organization or on the team that can relate to a guy like Lynch can make all the difference regardless what his meaningless bio sheet says about "character"
