Mike Tice has close ties to the Wisconsin program...  and is very high on Carimi who was also a Badger.

19 is too high for C but a few spots lower... if he's really that good...

It would just really depend on who else is on the board at that time, as well as, how much Tice and the new GM think Garza has left in the tank AND if the believe we already have our C of the future in-house in Chris Spencer or if Spencer is going to stay at G from here on out. 

My philosophy on 1st round picks is well known -- i.e., your 1st round pick needs to be a starter a solid contributor from Day One.  The 1st round is not where you go after a project that's going to need two seasons of development before he's ready to play.  Nor is the 1st round where you draft for "depth" when you are without NFL caliber starting talent at other positions. So since it's highly unlikely that Konz would crack the starting lineup as a rookie, I would have to consider that a questionable pick even if we did trade down a few spots.
