Well mock draft season progresses as we see ESPN’s first two round mock-up by Todd McShay. While his hair might not be on par with Mel Kiper his analysis is top notch.

In this draft McShay projected the Bears to select WR Percy Harvin out of Florida with the 18th pick and OG/OC Max Unger out of Oregon with the 49th pick.

Both player are guys who would step in and compete for serious playing time immediately. Harvin would bring a very similar skill set as Devin Hester giving the Bears two burners on the outside and forcing teams secondaries to play back and letting Greg Olsen and Desmond Clark control the middle of the field.

Unger on the other hand has great versatility having played both OT and C in college. At just 300lbs he probably doesn’t have the size to stay at Tackle in the NFL but he could provide big time competition on the inside; pushing Beekman and Garza and providing a more legitimate back-up to Olin Kreutz.

I certainly feel a lot better about this option than what Kiper had previously suggested with the DE Jackson out of LSU. While DE is a need for the Bears it’s time for the Bears to start building this offense with speed and getting younger on the line.
