Bears have a banana in their pockets

[RVJ]

For the Bears to send the No. 4 overall pick to the 'Skins for the No. 9 and No. 25 selections in round one, either Braylon Edwards or Mike Williams must still be on the board.

 

But there's one more hitch. If the Cardinals haven't consummated a trade for Bills running back Travis Henry before the third pick is announced on Saturday, the Bears likely won't go forward, since they fear that the Cards would select running back Cedric Benson with the No. 8 overall pick.

 

One of the worst kept secrets leading up to the draft is that the Bears have a banana in their pockets for Benson, a power back from Texas.

 

 

It seems unlikely, in our view, that the long-rumored trade between the Cardinals and the Bills will occur before the Bears are on the clock.
