Bears Draft - Phoooey...

As the Draft is coming to a close... I am wondering if the bears had such a good offense (ranking in the top 5 in most offensive categories), then why did they decide to draft exclusively on the offensive side of the ball. They have a pro bowl Tight end in Desmond Clark, so why did they pick up Marcedes Lewis in the first round? It seems that with the wealth of talent in the Wide Receiver position, that they did not need to draft Derek Hagan with their second round pick.... I thought for sure that with their defense being as horrendous as it was last year, they should have concentrated exclusively on defensive draft picks... And then I woke up.

It seems to me that the draft should have played out something like this:

Round 1: Offense
Round 2: Offense
Round 4: Offense
Round 5: Offense
Round 6: Offense
Round 7: Offense

But that is not what we got, now is it... Man what a frustrating weekend. Every single pick was on defense. EVERY STINKING ONE SO FAR. And with only two remaining picks in rounds 6 and 7, I have no reason to think otherwise. Share your thoughts if you care...
