Coach John Fox prefers the running back-by-committee approach; a philosophy that dates back all the way to Carolina. When Chicago allowed veteran Matt Forte to leave via free agency, the Bears had a hole to fill. After failing to sign C.J. Anderson to an offer sheet, the Bears tuned their attention to the draft, selecting Indiana running back Jordan Howard in the fifth round (No. 150).

My take: I love it. The more tailbacks the better. And you can find them in the middle rounds. Jeremy Langford is the perfect example -- Chicago took Langford in the fourth round last year. Howard rushed for 2,800 yards and 22 touchdowns over the last two seasons at Indiana and UAB. Durability is a concern. But despite missing 18 quarters due to injury, Howard rushed for 134.8 yards per game (second in the Big Ten). Bottom line: Jay Cutler is a better quarterback when the Bears run the football. Between Langford, Howard, Ka'Deem Carey and Jacquizz Rodgers, the Bears are in good shape.
