So DB, what now? Do we go after another for the side opposite Carimi or do we go after a G? I'm not sure that I trust Webb as a LT. I barely trust him at RT.

Regardless of where he winds up, he is a significant upgrade at either position for the Bears.

BOLD: Don't care where he winds up, he's a huge upgrade, as the ITL states!


Overview



Carimi was the 2010 Outland Trophy winner as the best interior lineman in college football, and it appears likely that he will have continued success at the next level. Carimi is simply a "bad man" who looks to punish defensive ends on every play. His non-stop motor, coupled with his ideal size, make him a terror in the running game, and he has enough athleticism to hold his own in pass protection. Like all tall linemen, Carimi struggles at times with leverage and may have to make the move to right tackle in the NFL. Overall, Carimi is a beast who should be picked in the middle of the first round.


What a steal for us...JA got lucky w/bad picks in front of us, and our guy landing in our laps; kudo's for him for not trading down!

the boy named suh along with fairley scares bejeezus outta me. I hope he's a guard

Where's 4th? I want to heckle him about his man-hate for Jerry Angelo. Between him and Tim Ruskell, we may have just secured the best draft pick in the first round since Greg Olsen...possibly even as far back as Brian Urlacher.

I'm as giddy as a school girl. I gave a good old fashioned Southern rebel yell when we got Carimi, DB. You should have seen me in all of my football redneck glory.
