Bears Pick Time and Draft Time Killer

WHEN WILL THE BEARS PICK?
It's been quite sometime since I've posted on WCG. But whether I post or not, know I'm always reading. Everyone is doing a great job with creating great Bears fan content. Shout out to Lester who is a personal favorite to read!

So why post today? Well, this morning I began wondering what time the Bears might actually pick. After spending some time searching on Google, I found my way back to the site and decided to go through the comments from last year's first round open thread. I was able to figure out approximate times for about 1/3 of the players and then moved on to other SB Nation blogs and found approximate times for the rest.

SPECIAL NOTE: All times are CST and written in the first column after the pick #. The draft started at 6:30 pm CST last year, but will start at 7:00 pm CST this year. Add 30 minutes for an approximate guess for this year. At pick 29 the Bears should be picking between 10-11 pm.

BONUS:
A few interesting things that I'll share with you, that I noticed from looking through the other team blogs on draft day 2010.

- Texans fans really wanted McCourtey (CB) or Dan Williams (DT) or Kyle Wilson (CB) and were elated to see all three sitting there at their pick... but instead they ended up with Kareem Jackson (CB) and all were pretty furious.
- Most were shocked to see that Eric Berry (S) went before Earl Thomas (S)
- Everyone spends draft day telling Al Davis jokes
- Gerald McCoy (DT) was both laughing and crying when his phone rang.
- Jerry Jones surprised no one by trading up to grab Dez Bryant (WR)
- Bears fans were spending much of the day wondering what Denver would do with their 1st round pick (traded it to SF).
- Denver fans were left in amazement, as management said a prayer and traded a fortune to move up and grab Tebow.

JUST FOR FUN:
Game 1 - Let's see who can be the first to guess the actual time the Bears pick will be announced. Post the time you want in the comments. First to post that time will be the winner.

Game 2 - Copy and paste your favorite quote from last year's open threads. It may be a prediction or comment. Open thread round 1, 2, 3
