Chicago Bears: Jerry Angelo's Worst Draft Choices

Jack MarchettiDec 3, 2010

In 2009 the Chicago Bears gave up two first round draft choices and Kyle Orton to land Jay Cutler.  

Many people couldn't believe a team would give up that much.  

But what most people don't know, and what many in Chicago do know, is that the Bears' ability to draft is suspect.

If Jerry Angelo has proved one thing as Chicago Bears General Manager, it's that his draft choices have been, well, umm.  How about this, let's take a look at some of his most infamous choices and like my favorite unbiased news show: You Decide.

Michael Haynes (DE) 2003 1st Round
