4. The Bears draft Rashard Mendenhall: I'm not sure what the Bears still see in 2005 first-round running back Cedric Benson that deserves continued displays of confidence, but I don't share their optimism.
Benson doesn't seem to do anything particularly well three years into his NFL career, and if I was calling the shots in Chicago, I'd cut my losses and move on. At least in the sense of bringing in front-line competition for the underachieving Benson, who appears to be a classic case of the high draft pick who got paid and lost motivation.
That's where Mendenhall, the University of Illinois star, comes in. He's a big, powerful and fast runner who has very little wear and tear on his body after starting just one season (as a junior) for the Illini. The already low-impact Bears offense suffered some losses this offseason, and playmakers are in painfully short supply on the unit coordinated by Ron Turner. The Bears stayed status quo at quarterback and lost ground at receiver. More than ever, they need a running game they can rely on.

Mendenhall > Stewart
What makes you say that? (Not that I disagree)

A couple of reasons. The biggest reason I say that would be the questions surrounding Stewart's overall health and his ability to stay on the field. The other would be the lack of wear and tear to Mendenhall as the result of him toting the rock full time for 1 season. Talent wise they may be equal but I think those two reasons would give Mendenhall the edge.Originally Posted by ShannonsCrooks

Adam Schefter reported it on NFLN today, said it's a done deal and they might wait to announce it at Draft. Agreed though I cant find anythingonline either so
