Pick Two

Moriarty · Thu Oct 17, 2019 8:43 am

The Bears have 2 2nd rounders in 2020 and then nothing until R5.

What two positions are you most in favor of addressing?

Yes, there's more season to come, yes, we don't know about free agency (but the Bears don't have a lot of room anyway).

Given the Raiders and Bears, picks are likely to be in the middle 3rd of the round.

Sorry, had to combine CB/S, because hit option limit

TE is kind of an obvious one.

Lot of different ways to go... TE is a need, iOL, CB

Tough one. The easy answer is OG and TE.

BUT - The Bears can't ignore the fact that they have some important pending FAs on defense. RRH, Trevathan, Lynch, Williams, Ha-Ha, Kwiatkoski, Bush, and Irving are all set to hit the open market.

I voted for interior o-line and then outside linebacker.

Floyd is not worth the money at all and we need somebody on the outside that can contribute. Getting rid of Floyd also allows us to just move that money over to Eddie Jackson without having a net impact on the cap.

Interior o-line should be obvious and in round 2 there should be some good ones there.

Offensive line
Your team doesn’t work if your DL and OL suck ass

I was tempted to pick DB because I'm not sure Prince is gonna be a Bear much longer, but I chose OG and OLB because I think it's more likely that Shelly and Bush develop into starters than Coward/Bars and Isaiah Irving. Plus maybe they resign Skrine? We're stuck with Burton and developmental TEs for another season.

I think the offensive line is enough of a problem I wouldn’t bat an eye at both picks being Olinemen

I picked Tackle, since Leno could always move to guard if we kept Massie. And DL because we seem thin there and need somebody to keep the middle plugged up.

AZ_Bearfan · Fri Oct 18, 2019 3:37 pm

Tackle who could move inside if he sucks and a TE.

That said, I'd always rather have Pace go after the BPA.

BR0D1E86 · Sun Oct 20, 2019 5:42 pm

I changed my answer to include quarterback. We should be looking for one again.

WagonForce · Sun Oct 20, 2019 7:21 pm

I picked Interior OLine and Tackle.

QB is tempting but I think that will probably come with the first rounder in 2021. Assuming the talent is there to justify the picks, I'd like to see this team to build a serviceable line in preparation for whoever is playing QB for the Bears in a few years.

In a way, I "like" the sudden burst of QB votes. It's good to be able to let go, when necessary.

But I don't see much QB help being available at 40ish.

You could maybe trade both to get into late R1, but even that isn't usually very promising. And anyway, that would be no position players in R1 & 2 last year and no position players in R1, 2, 3 or 4 in 2020. I don't think the team can survive that.

The Bears may pick a QB in the 2020 draft, but they won't seriously consider moving on from Mitch until 2021.

Camp next year will consist of Mitch, Chase, FA, and maybe a late round pick.

AZ_Bearfan · Mon Oct 21, 2019 11:59 am

I absolutely hate Daniel as the back-up. Don't get me wrong, I like him as an NFL back-up, I just don't think he's a fit for this team. We need somebody who can actually push Trubisky for the starting gig. I get the thinking that he's more of a mentor that can step-in when needed and that's a great thought. But maybe Trubisky doesn't need to be treated with kid gloves. Maybe he needs a #2 that can push him. Make him look over his shoulder a bit and compete for the job instead of having it handed over based on draft status.

Why bring Daniel back?

Exactly.
Daniel was a good fit, when the job description was - mentor and fill in short-term for injuries.
Now that the job description is "how much starter upside do you have for your cap number?", he really doesn't fit at all.

BR0D1E86 · Mon Oct 21, 2019 9:08 pm

Isn't Chase a free agent? I assume he'll be gone and somebody will be brought in for a quarterback competition of some kind.

Need OL with our picks..lots of QBs in later rounds running RPO.. No Daniel..a pocket statue..not suited to what ever the fuck we call this O..

Somewhere on a server out there, is evidence that I voted "QB" first. LOL

I truly thought 10 wouldn't be nearly as embarrassing last week - but have been losing faith that 10 was a long-term answer since the first quarter of the first game, after Nagy "hid" him during the preseason. So yeah drafting a QB to me is a mandatory move even if 10 shows up a few games.

Are there any players on the team that are even marginally expendable that could get traded for a higher draft pick?
