Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

Asked whom the Bears should draft ninth, Williams first named Penn State tackle Olu Fashanu, his former high school teammate who would “put his life on the line protecting me ,” and then settled on one of the top three receivers. “Whoever’s there at 9,” Williams said. If alt and the wrs are gone, I...

That's an old and broken platitude you want to use to counter a term that means something different than you're trying to make it. It's not a literal term and not reality when seen this way.

I wouldn't be thrilled with moving up, even for MHJ.
Since next years #1 is basically a 2nd with it being #32, id do it in a heartbeat.

Id be beyond shocked if Poles did it despite how happy I would be.

It's no more than one guys take on it but it's not an impossible situation to pull off. If Poles wants it to happen and SD is willing to trade for a 2025 pick or picks it's not like it could never happen. I would wonder why SD needing to replace it's two best WR would want to make that trade to beg...

I dream every night of MHJ in a Bears uniform.

Caleb and MHJ can break Peyton and MHs records.

I think it's a wonderful idea. I'd give up even more than the 2nd next year to get MHJ.

Re: Different trade scenario

Passing on a WR at 1.9 would be alot more palatable if they had a 2nd round pick.

I guess it's a good problem that we are sitting here like, wtf we are only getting a difference maker at QB and either WR or DE this draft instead of all 3.

Re: I think we Bears fans are traumatized

One of Odunze or Turner will be there at 9. Take whichever is there and it’s a win. Barring a team hopping up to 7, I think that's probably the case. The biggest difference in the 3rd WR vs the 3rd DE is that the 3rd DE is going to see more opportunities than the 3rd WR. If you have them graded equ...
