Chicago Bears Tickets – Draft Analysis

 

The demand for Chicago Bears tickets got a boost from the NFL Draft. The Bears were able to address some of their needs from the past season, and they were able to bolster a few areas of the team which were already pretty good. If you are a Bears fan, you can’t help but be a little bit excited about the way in which the stats from 2007 will be positively affected with the new rookies. Let’s take a look at some of the new players and where they will fit in with where the Bears left off from last season. After you start daydreaming about another Super Bowl run, you can begin looking for some good Chicago Bears tickets to see the new players in action.

The Bears used their first, second and third round picks on offensive players. Clearly they wanted to focus on scoring more points in 2008. On offense the Bears did better through the air than on the ground in 2007, though they were not helped by a quarterback situation that was less than ideal. Chicago ended the regular season with 3,362 passing yards, good for exactly 15th in the league. They were no slackers through the air, despite all the bad press. On the ground they only managed to record 1,330 total yards (30th in the league) and had the worst yards per carry average in the NFL (3.1). It seems like the bad running game didn’t help the passing game much, or vise versa. Cedric Benson had trouble all season getting into the lineup and getting into the open field. He finished the season with only 674 total rushing yards and four touchdowns. Clearly he was no friend of the fantasy football manager.

That’s probably why the Chicago Bears drafted Chris Williams, an offensive lineman from Vanderbilt, as the No. 14 overall pick in the Draft. Williams is a pass blocker first, so he will probably get in the game when the Bears are trying to get it done through the air. To help on that front will be Earl Bennett, a wide receiver also from Vandy. Although the Bears do have some nifty wideouts already, they could always use a fearless deep threat like Bennett.

The Bears’ second pick was the 44th overall. They used it to grab a running back, Matt Forte from Tulane. The word on Forte is that he’s a good pass blocker. And with the current situation, the Bears will already have some good running backs to handle the load on the ground. Bottom line is that when you get some Chicago Bears tickets this year, you’ll probably get to see an even better passing game.
