You shouldnt pay attention to what others say about you. But as long as GM Phil Emery is doing mock draftsdrafts plurallets see what is going on as far as what others are saying the Bears will do with that pick at No. 19 in the draft this Thursday evening.
Illinois defensive end Whitney Mercilus is the unofficial leading vote-getter in this informal sampling. Emery said that the Bears have a core of seven players they feel comfortable with at No. 19 and there are nine different opinions just in this test strip. Should be interesting on Thursday.
