Feel the draft?

This draft will forever be judged by the Jay Cutler trade. If Cutler is the quarterback Bears fans hope and think, then no matter what else happens this draft will be thought of as a success because it was the main currency by which we acquired him. 

But, that aside—or, perhaps better stated, when put into that context—you can look at the players we were able to land on Sunday and say they look like a group that's going to contribute this year. And, when the smoke clears, there are at least a few potential, down-the road-starters.

The Bears drafted three WRs, and, although everyone would like the receiving corps to instantly feature some bigger names and hotter prospects, they're going to have Jay Cutler throwing them the ball. Jerry Angelo is going to have the chance to prove his thesis: it's the quarterback that makes the receivers, not vice versa. 

And I like the young players they added on defense. Jarron Gilbert (DT/DE) is a real boom or bust type, but he's got Rod Marinelli, one of the best D-Line coaches in the business to help him realize his potential. D.J. Moore (CB) sounds like a potential starter down the road, as does Marcus Freeman (OLB). 

I like this draft. And we got Jay Cutler. 

I like Jay Cutler.
