We've been rolling along with our first ever WCG Staff Mock Draft (check out the pretty table here), but today, we're going to mix things up a bit.
Mr. PSDB had an idea last week that we all really liked, so, instead of one staff member making this pick alone, all most of the writers submitted a pick for the Bears. Below the fold, we'll reveal who each of us took, add the selections into a Poll, and let you all decide who ultimately gets anointed as the 29th overall pick in this year's Draft.
Lester Wiltfong, Jr: OK... I'm going best player available with my pick... Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue. DE isn't a need, but Kerrigan is too good to pass up at 29. I thought Izzy played a good DE last year, but he also has played good at DT in his career. Izzy is versatile enough to move back inside. Kerrigan had an incredible Combine that just validated how good a player he is. At Purdue he recorded 33 sacks, 57 tackles for loss, and 14 forced fumbles (a Big 10 record). The strip sack is kind of his thing.
Pete Dixon: Ok but be sure to helmet tip PSDB for the idea so he won't tell us what a terrible idea it was. Gabe Carimi.
Lester Wiltfong, Jr: Holy sheep shit, Carimi is available isn't he!
Just Dave: Gabe Carimi OT
Steven Schweickert: Gave Carimi, OL, Wisc. Best available lineman, most immediate need and a day one starter. Sorry for the abridged version, blame work, but I'm taking Carimi.
Dominique Blanton: Gabe Carimi is my pick. With Gabe Carimi still on the board it comes down to Danny Watkins or Gabe Carimi. Both are safe choices, but Carimi is the better prospect.
Kev H: First of all, PSDB has never had a good idea. Second of all, fine: Danny Watkins, OL, Baylor. Yeah, it's a stretch. I would've preferred Sherrod, but he's taken in this draft. That said, beyond the weird age thing, I think he can slide in and play at guard pretty quickly. He plays tough, and seems to at least be willing to spend some time trying to block defensive lineman, whis is more than I can say for Frank Omiyale. Shift Williams back out to Tackle, put Watkins in at Left Guard, and hope that you finally have some protection for Cutler's blindside.
