Fantasy BishBall Draft

So I have entered the ranks of the Catholic Elite Geekdom. Tonight, I have a "Fantasy Bishball" draft. What is Fantasy Bishball? Think "Fantasy Football" mixed with "Catholic Blog Punditry." In other words, a bunch of us will select 3 bishops each in "draft" fashion from the list of American Bishops. We will then "score" points based on various criteria. (Homilies, public statements, heretical smackdowns, etc...)

I know, I know - I am completely geeky and have way to much time on my hands. But in reality, it is making me learn a lot more about the men entrusted with the Church here in America. The hard part is constructing a list of the top 30 bishops here in the U.S. There are 10 "teams" and 3 rounds, so I have to have around 30 bishops that I would be willing to draft.

My pick order is #10, #17, & #27. I have a decent list, but with picks that late in each round, I need to risk a little bit. Obviously I won't be getting Chaput, Bruskewitz or Burke, so my thinking needs to be a bit more "outside of the confessional" if you know what I mean.

If you have any suggestions please let me know. The draft is 11pm ET/7pm AKT, so there are a few hours left to give me some sage advice. BTW - my team name is the: "Vicious Vicars". Anyone good with graphics could make me a logo if they'd like. I will let you know how the draft goes.
