I mock your silly mock drafts

*It's Tuesday, and I have all the answers . . .*

It's never too early to mock a draft. The one on
CBSSportsline.com<http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/story/11268534>has
the Bears' taking Southern Cal quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Perfect: A quarterback whose Hall-of-Fame coach said he wasn't ready for the
NFL is predicted to go to a team that couldn't spot a quarterback in an
Isotoner gloves commercial.

Projected just ahead of the Bears' pick is the Jets' taking Jeremy Maclin,
the Missouri wideout with 4.38 speed. He's exactly the kind of explosive
playmaker the Bears need, sort of the way Devin Hester used to be on kick
returns until Bears management and coaches showed their "geniusness.'' So,
maybe it's just as well that Maclin doesn't come here just to get converted
to defensive tackle.

Among the players projected to go after the Bears' selection are Illinois
cornerback Vontae Davis, who is athletic the way Bears like their
cornerbacks, but is also inconsistent, and that's without the Bears'
inexcusable pass rush that makes everybody back there look worse.

Another player projected later in the first round is phenomenal Florida
wideout Percy Harvin. Great speed, but the injury concerns make spending a
first-round pick a risk. Can stretch the field the way Hester can, but even
better, it appears he actually knows the playbook.

No, wait, Big Ben says they do so. Doesn't matter. It's more important for
the Cardinals if Bertrand Berry and Adrian Wilson have it in for
Roethlisberger.

*Obligatory Super Bowl* superstition

One guy had a whole bandaging routine. Oh, and no eye black until totally
dressed, got it?

*Symmetry:* 43 Super Bowls, 43 strip clubs in

And
remember that notorious anti-lap-dance ordinance passed before the last
Super Bowl down there? Nobody got arrested. Guess somebody smarter than
local lawmakers -- jeez, who isn't? -- figured out that the public safety is
not jeopardized by a thong, unless of course it's the gold one worn by Jason
Giambi<http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2008/05/16/2008-05-16_jason_giambi_and_his_magic_gold_thong.html>.
