Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Fuzion.
Fuzion who?
Fuzion, with Chicago's first-round pick in the 2012 BRB Mock Draft.
Get it? Me neither. Let's hit the jump before I make with any more jokes.
Just like last season, the Chicago Bears have one huge glaring positional need -- offensive line. Matt Forte made an otherwise ho-hum offensive line look pretty good. Still, the team needs to focus on improving pass and run protection in order to give Jay Cutler and Matt Forte the opportunities to make the true impact on the entire game. Last season, the Bears drafted OT Gabe Carimi and he ended up injured before his season ever really got started. They expect Carimi to be back at full health, and so do I. With that said, this really was an easy selection.
Cordy Glenn (OG/OT--Georgia).
Considered by most to be the second best offensive guard in the draft, Glenn has the added advantage of shifting to tackle when needed. A piece the Bears could move around as the game dictated on the offensive line? It's absurd, I know, but it's true. I realistically expect the Bears to look at Glenn if he makes it to them here. It's not only a solid pick-up, but it's one that speaks to the need for the Bears to become more balanced overall.
A sound, totally unsexy pick. Well done. Bud Adams' Army of Darkness, in the form of ltknick, is now on the clock. The only thing we know is that they won't be drafting a soul. Good lord willing and the creek don't rise, we'll publish that pick at 5 p.m. CDT.
