Jerry Angelo selected Boston College offensive lineman Marc Colombo with his first pick as Bears GM in the first round of the 2002 NFL draft. The 29th selection overall, Colombo had an injury-plagued tenure before being released after four seasons.

Angelo had two first round picks in the 2003 draft and used them to select Florida quarterback Rex Grossman (22nd selection) and Penn State defensive tackle Michael Haynes (14th selection).

Oklahoma defensive tackle Tommie Harris was taken by Angelo with the 14th pick in the first round of the 2004 draft. Harris had three Pro-Bowl selections with the Bears before being benched in 2010 and ultimately released in 2011.

Angelo used the highest pick he would ever have as Bears GM to take Texas running back Cedric Benson with the fourth selection in the 2005 draft. Benson had a tumultuous three-year run that saw injuries, legal troubles and flashes of promise.

After going without a first-round pick in 2006, Angelo used the 31st pick in the first round of the 2007 draft to select Miami tight end Greg Olsen. Olsen found his groove with Jay Cutler in 2009, leading the team in receptions (60) and touchdowns (8).

Looking to boost up the offensive line, Angelo selected Vanderbilt lineman Chris Williams with the 14th pick of the 2008 draft. Williams has bounced from different positions on the line during his four seasons and 47 games with the Bears.

Angelo waited two years before he and the Bears had a first round selection and used it in 2011 to select Wisconsin offensive lineman Gabe Carimi with the 29th pick. Carimi suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 against the Saints.

Roosevelt Williams was selected 72nd in the third round of the 2002 draft. He played seven games in his rookie season due to a nagging ankle injury suffered in training camp. On Dec. 15, 2002, Williams recovered a fumble sealing the Bears victory and stopping the Jets from making the playoffs. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times file
