How So-Called Experts See The Bears’ First Pick So Far

- Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU via ESPN’s Mel Kiper, Jr.
- Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland via NFL Draft Countdown’s Scott Wright.
- Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri via Sports Illustrated’s Don Banks.
- Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech via Walter Football.
- Percy Harvin, WR, Florida via FF Toolbox’s Raul Colon.
- Mark Sanchez, QB, USC via About.com’s James Alder.
- Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU via Draft King’s Lou Pickney.
- D.J. Moore, CB, Vanderbilt via NBC Sports’ Steve Silverman. Remember him?
- Brian Cushing, LB, USC via NE Patriot’s Draft.
- Duke Robinson, G, Oklahoma via Doc Sports’ Robert Ferringo.
- Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri via FF Jungle’s Austin Ducharme.
- Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina via Football Jabber.
- Mark Sanchez, QB, USC via NFL Draft Scout’s Rob Rang.
If Steve Silverman persists with picks like D.J. Moore in his updated mocks, he’ll no longer be making an appearance here. C’mon, man. The position of theme in these predictions, not surprisingly, is wide receiver and defensive end. And for the Bears, they have to go either/or come April.
By the way, if Mark Sanchez really is the 18th pick in the 2009 draft, it better because Jerry Angelo traded it away as a piece of the deal to score Anquan Boldin. The Cardinals seem to like USC quarterback’s anyway and Matt Leinart needs a new wingman.
