I want Tee Higgins or Calvin Ridley.

 

Id take Jerry Jeudy as well.

 

I'd be all in on Higgins, more reserved about Ridley or Jeudy. That being said, how do we know any of them could be available again? Are these teams in cap hell?

They overpaid by giving up THEIR 2nd instead of the Ravens' 2nd. I probably wouldn't have given up more than the early 3rd, but I guess Green Bay thought they had him this morning and the Bears had to up which 2nd they offered to get the deal done and keep him from Green Bay.

 

Don't love the trade or the player. But the player is decent and I LOVE the insinuation that this regime is 100% behind Fields and are making a move to get him some professional WR help. There simply isn't a better guy available in free agency this offseason. And this gets Fields some help RIGHT NOW. They were going to have to trade for a WR at some point between now and next August, better that they got this done now. Let's go out and lose some more 40-30 games!

Also nice that Fields will have half a season to work with this group. I'd say that alone is worth the difference in values between the 2 second round picks. So Mooney, Claypool, Harry, St. Brown, Pringle and VJJ is certainly starting to shape up the receiver room. I'm guessing when Pringle comes back, Pettis will be a goner. St. Brown, Pringle and VJJ are all easily replaceable next year if they wish to add more depth here.

As been previously stated this move is an affirmation that Fields has shown enough, and it is awesome. Think I saw something about Pringle returning to practice this week, believe, we've at most, two more games with Pettis as a Bear. Poles will still probably pick a WR on day 2, press conference yesterday, mentioned surrounding Justin with as many weapons as possible.

I wouldn't be opposed to that. We know that Mooney and Claypool are starting caliber WR's in the NFL. I can't say any of the others fall into that category. We hope Harry will be one, but he was let go for next to nothing for a reason. I surely hope Poles was the smartest guy in the room when he took a chance on Harry and Leatherwood. Playing time will tell.

I don't think Harry and Leatherwood were about him being smart. It's low risk, high-reward moves for former 1st round picks that may have been in bad situations. Belichick is weird, he may have just not liked Harry for whatever reason. Leatherwood did get chances, but maybe the Raiders didn't have a scheme fit for him? IDK, but those are moves a bad team should make 100x out of 100.

Yep. Literally the only benefit of being bad and tanking is just taking a pss at every vaguely interesting opportunity and hoping 1 out of 20 hits.
