"allegedly" being the key word. Bears don't have shit to give up.
I have to use that word,"allegedly" all the time around public defenders.
This rumor is about as bad as the rumor the Rockies traded Arenado to the White Sox.
Update: Bears going for #2 pick, Mack involved?

Yeeaa. Even if the Bears made a Ditka style "Ricky Williams trade" offer this wouldn't get done.

How about Roquan Smith, Akiem Hicks, Mitch Trubisky, Tarik Cohen, a 2nd rounder and 2 other low picks - plus next year's #1 and #3?
That's 4 probowlers and an Ohio QB plus an entire draft's worth of picks. Not enough? LOL

I actually think Burrow is going to bust. Just a hunch.

The Bears would have to give an entire draft and a host of core players. No thanks.

for arguments sake, let's say the Bears are one of the teams interested
why? who would they be willing to sacrifice a ton to get in this draft?
there is not 1 player at any position available in this draft that will automatically dramatically improve the Bears IMO ... and since that magical person does not exist, the Bears should have no interest unless Pace is actually trying to get fired

It's hard to get a handle on a QB who only plays well one season. Was it the system used, having overwhelming talent at WR and RB (which LSU had), etc. He did exhibit good characteristics pointing to possible success - adjustments during plays and not locking onto a receiver, not holding the ball too long, ability to thread the ball between defenders, good touch on the long ball, knowing when to run. With that being said, it's still 50-50 at most for him to succeed.

I mean, I was joking about that trade bundle. There are more affordable and practical ways to get a top QB. You start investing in them (starting in the 2nd round this year) and keep doing it until you land a franchise guy. It will happen, eventually, if you try. But you can't win a game you're not playing.
I do think Carr is worth the dollars and/or trade capital if he indeed became available. He's really good. If you slotted him into the winning Superbowl QB list, he'd be in the middle. As opposed to 10, who would be in the group of guys who shouldn't have won but did.

uh, are you trying to just be a smart ass?
yes there is only 1 number 1 pick ... but the team having that pick is who chooses the player that fills it
so my point is, there is no single player at any position available in this draft that the Bears could select with the number 1 pick that would be worth the cost they would pay to get the number 1 pick

OK. My point is there is only one player (Burrow) that any team is taking with the first pick, whether it's Cincy or someone trading up.Boris13c wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 11:17 amThe Cooler King wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2020 9:16 pm

I don't see either team giving up their spots. And I especially don't want The Bears to try because they would have to give up multiple round firsts, again, to get either one.
