Links to the Best in NFC North Coverage, 2/28 Edition

Today's news around the NFC North primarily concerns the upcoming draft, especially which players teams should target.

Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman has said that the team was open to trading down from their No. 3 overall draft pick. Now that the St. Louis Rams have confirmed they will be trading their No. 2 pick, it looks like the Vikings will have to keep it after all.

Since the Vikings will be using their first-round pick, Bleacher Report's Chris Schad makes the case that left tackle Matt Kalil is the very best choice they could make.

Despite his poor showing at the NFL Scouting Combine and his history on the field, the Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett says that linebacker Vontaze Burfict is still an ideal match for the Detroit Lions.

Bob McGinn of the Green Bay Press-Gazette spoke to Packers head coach Mike McCarthy about cornerback Charles Woodson, saying that Woodson would not be switched to safety in 2012.

The Chicago Bears need a wide receiver this year, but luckily for them the draft class is deep, according to Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune.

Bleacher Report's Jeremy Alpert takes a look at the best drafts the Chicago Bears have had in franchise history.
