After going through tight ends last year—Chris Gedney (foot), Keith Jennings (groin and ankle), Ryan Wetnight (knee), Bobby Neely (knee)—like Spinal Tap goes through drummers, Chicago spent its first draft pick (40th overall) in '97 on John Allred, a bruising blocker with good hands who can also serve as a long-snapper if needed. "We got to a point where with Jennings in the game it was run, run, run, and with Wetnight it was pass, pass, pass," says coach Dave Wannstedt. "This is a guy who can do both."
