19. Chicago Bears, Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin
Another need so obvious it hardly needs an explanation. Cutler was abused from all points behind the Bears' line this season. It's a miracle that a hand injury was all he suffered. Konz is the best center in the draft, and has the brains to do handle the cerebral part of the center's job.
