    we basically gave up a 4 to get a guy we must have really liked right now who we knew was available instead of rolling the dice on running into that situation next year (and now is always better than later) we had 2 #4's. and this guy better be UNBELIEVABLE to the point it puts the pick way past #50. or the collection of them. Pace is rolling the dice right now what does the fact that we had 2 #4's have to do with anything?

    fwiw, smarter front offices are placing less value in later round picks relative to early ones than it ever used to be, largely because of the rookie wage scale. and those roster spots from the later round picks can be filled with cheap free agents and such (or veterans you trade those picks for) the jimmy johnson chart is completely out the window in 2018. yea. but we lose an early draft pick in this we basically gave up a 4 to get a guy we must have really liked right now who we knew was available instead of rolling the dice on running into that situation next year (and now is always better than later) do i LOVE the value? no, but whatever, it's fine. 4ths are almost always nothings and you can get lucky on cheap FAs and UDFAs too.

    Eh not too bad a #2 and a #4 for a #2 Pace is a horsefeathering ametuer fwiw, smarter front offices are placing less value in later round picks relative to early ones than it ever used to be, largely because of the rookie wage scale. and those roster spots from the later round picks can be filled with cheap free agents and such (or veterans you trade those picks for) the jimmy johnson chart is completely out the window in 2018.

    Eh not too bad Next years 2nd round pick is enormous if this team isn't a 9+ win team this year. i honestly think it just might be this horsefeathers happens in the nfl all the time and i'll be damned if i don't love almost everything that has happened since the glorious day john fox was fired. the only thing that gives me pause is the division, but those teams are subject to nfl wacky variance too so who knows.

    If they end up with Nelson, fine, whatever but I'd rather get an OL later and get someone great at a more important position

    Hugh Jackson I don’t doubt Hugh Jackson has made it known who he wants. I have a lot of doubts that Dorsey gives a horsefeathers who Jackson wants I didn't say anything about who Hue Jackson wants.
  19. David
    There's a lot more smoke than other gms making up a rumor. Smoke based on what, though? All reports are that Dorsey hasn’t told anyone who he’s picking, sonwhere does the speculations start? Hue Jackson

    PFF did their mock and have the Bears going Landry, with Chubb still on the board, no less. That was a "what would I do" mock and not a prediction though. What was their line of reasoning for taking Landry over Chubb? Pace may really want a pass rusher, but if Chubb is there he's taking him. PFF being driven by their metrics and their methods will sometimes lead to them having players ranked differently than the consensus. They're not as high on Chubb as everyone else and they have Landry a smidge ahead of him (12th vs 13th). https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/draft-pff-big-board-top-250-players-for-the-2018-nfl-draft
