Draft Watch: Late First-Round Receivers For Bears

With a late round draft pick in the first round the Chicago Bears are going to have to wait and see who is available at the 30th pick. So instead of targeting a few specific players, the Bears will target clusters of players.

It's likely the Bears will focus on improving their offensive line and wide receivers before they look to address other team needs. With this week's Senior Bowl practices wrapping up, the Bears should have good scouting reports on some of the top receivers in the senior class.

The top two receivers, Julio Jones and A.J. Green, won't be available when the Bears pick. Mike Wilkening, Senior Editor of Pro Football Weekly, joined the Mully and Hanley Show to talk about a group of receivers the Bears could target.

Wilkening On Leonard Hankerson, Miami (FL):

"Kind of a big, physical receiver. I think he plays fast. He's a guy that really stands out, a big target. You look for flashes [at the Senior Bowl]. And he's a guy that has flashed. I think he looks, to me, like a pro guy that's going to make it at the next level."
