Q:
I feel uneasy about the pick for our next CEO. Does this sound natural?
A:
When you say that something is “the pick”, then it is the best choice of what is available. In this context, it wouldn’t make sense to be wary of the best choice, and the use is abnormal. You are calling it the best choice and renouncing it at the same time.
https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/the-pick-of-something
Using “the choice” does not necessarily mean that it was the best choice, so saying that you feel uneasy means that you think the wrong choice was made would make sense.
If you said “their pick” or “who was picked”, then it would fit.
