The Bears haven't done bad on that, either. Their starting strong safety this year, Mike Green, was Mr. Irrelevant in 2000. All he did was finish second on the team in tackles, behind Brian Urlacher.

And yeah, Pittsburgh can talk about Lloyd and Nickerson in `89. The Bears were able to get a good WR in `89 as an undrafted free agent - the guy's name was Tom Waddle.

...he guy's name was Tom Waddle.

Tom Waddle was great to watch....classy and tough.

I made a mistake, LLoyd and Nickerson were not drafted 6-a and 6-b the same year. LLoyd was a fifth rounder the year before Nick was drafted.

One the greatest defensive linemen ever to play was drafted by the Bears in the 6th round, Richard Dent. We do much better drafting late than earlier which is why I like to see them trade down and get more picks.
Roland Harper 17th round
Jay Hilgenberg undrafted
Harlon Hill 15th round
Doug Planck 12th round
