Scenario that I like: Chubb falling to us

Scenario that I like but also makes me cringe: Barkley falling to us (the fall out of two years in a row having a starter get displaced...makes me cringe a little at the backlash from bears fans)

Scenario that makes me cringe: Taking a freaking guard at #8 overall...bleh
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

THAT I LIKE: The Bears making any sort of 1st round move. I feel this is a great draft for shifting around and getting optimal value in later 1st and mid-draft.

THAT MAKES ME CRINGE: Trading up to take somebody like Ward or Edmunds who was no doubt going to be there at 8.

The Pats picks line up perfectly from a trade value chart standpoint. I'd like that deal.

I'd cringe if they take a safety.

This is a sell-out:

THAT I LIKE: Ryan Pace gets his top rated player without having to trade up

THAT MAKES ME CRINGE: Trading up for anyone, I don't care if it's Chubb or Barkley... just no.

Like... The most popular choices... Nelson... Edmunds... Chubb would have me doing back flips.
Like... Trading back a little bit for Davenport...
Cringe... Any trade up.

We're certainly going to hear that Pace got his top rated player in any case.

The beast on tap? High school glory days.

As for this thread, I think a number of scenerios make me cringe. A lot of them seem plausible. Smith, James at 8. Trade up for almost anyone side from Chubb. trade down and get a shitty player or get ripped off.

Realistically Pace can make me very angry this weekend.

Like: Nelson/Smith/Vea/Landry/Davenport

Cringe: McGlinchey/Fitzpatrick/Ward
Holy Shit - We got Justin Fields!

I'm hoping that we trade up for Fitzpatrick, only because it would be hilarious to see the reaction.

I would have to say I would be disappointed if we drafted a guard anywhere in the top 10.

I was stuck on Nelson, though there is a good chance he will be gone.

Gonna just trust the Bears to pick the best talent on the board. I can care less on what position outside QB obviously. If they can trade a few spots to pick up extra pick/s I would be even happier.

Even more painful than my Cringe scenario.
Only 2-3 QBs were gone, a trade was there begging to happen (#7 and #10 pulled off a trade down), and Pace either wasn't interested, wanted too much, or otherwise botched it.

You saw what Oakland got in a trade down. I wouldn't have moved down either.

I think this was it. He said they explored a trade down. They didn’t think it was worth losing Smith. (My take)

That would be the first option, "wasn't interested"

If Smith was the guy I wanted and didn't think I'd get at #8, I wouldn't have been interested either.

If you find that unconscionable, that's your right.
