Note: In many Picks' cases, their rookie year started a season or more after the year they were drafted due to military enlistments for WWII and the Korean Conflict. As a result, I didn't add "Cut" to their tenture with the Bears unless it was for a different team or they never played. It should be mentioned that during the late '30s and '40s some guys drafted just didn't want to play Pro Football because the the war effort.
