51st Overall-Trai Turner-LSU– Turner is kind of an anomaly in that he’s kind of a fat guy, but is probably the best athlete of all the interior linemen which fits in with the Bears zone scheme. Registered the best 10-yard split (1.73 seconds), 20-yard shuttle (4.44 seconds) and the only sub-5-flat 40 time of all guards at the combine. He also has a lot of experience against top level DT competition in the SEC, and even on his own team in practices against 2nd day picks Anthony Johnson, and Ego Ferguson.

Alternate pick-Weston Richburg-Colorado State- Richburg is a smart, tough, Center who can play guard. That versatility will do him well. He’s also a great leader oozing with intangibles, and plays with an edge which would do him well playing in the north division against some of the nastiest interior defensive linemen in the entire league.
