Mock NFL draft- Rashad Mendenhall up to #9

[Da Coach]

Rivals.com has a mock NFL draft posted that show the Miami Dolphins picking Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan with the #1 pick.
Rashard Mendenhall is the #9 pick to Cincinnati, and he is the #2 overall running back.
They have the Bears picking Jeff Otah, an offensive tackle from Pittsburgh with the #14 pick.

If things would go my way ...the Bears would get Mendenhall....there are enough tackles in the draft but the Bears really need a true running back!

Understand your desire for a different running back (Benson is NOT the answer), but they really need some fresh legs in the offensive line to open holes and protect the QB...whoever it happens to be!

good call.

I like Adrian Peterson (not Minn one) in that spot, and Wolfe would be good if he had holes to get through.

an O line makes an Offense

Everything I've read about Otah has been good, which means that the Bears prolly won't pick him. They need a better line so badly. However they get it, that's the #1 need. I would love them to get Mendenhall, but I think that 14 is too high for him.
