I knew AK wasn't interested in any tanking. Hopefully those picks are pretty low value. Though that 2023 might be loaded double draft class right? So that could be a more valuable pick even if they are a playoff team.
-
Sounds solid. -
Counting on the pass rush to do the coverages work for them?
-
When he’s out the D looks so much worse though. Not sure I can say that about Fuller. You can't say it about Fuller since he's been healthy since the one season he missed.
-
Yup. I'm on board with making tough decisions, but this seems like the wrong tough decision.
-
Whats the value of that amount of meth? My only reference point is Breaking Bad lol
-
Maybe some hometown pull. He is a Chicago kid.
-
Biggs had already claimed their plan is to pair them. Yeah, I'm aware. That doesn't mean he's right. Nor does it make it a wise move. Though, getting 2 3rd round comp picks if both sign elsewhere would be phenomenal. As far as whether its smart or not, okay. Whether Biggs has good info? Pretty likely. He's usually solid when he reports.

Pace working the trade block still?
-
The CB room has health questions.
-
Also looks like they did include void years for Dalton. So only a 5.5m cap hit for 2021. I know many will complain about kicking the can down the road, but as long as you're going for it, might as well maximize the effort. Squeeze whatever you can to build the best 2021 team. Don't like half ass a 2021 effort.

I could be on board with retaining the picks, go OL with the first rounder and looking at a QB pick on day 2 - Mills or Trask - just please, no Mond. Mond scouting reports suggest he' a Trubisky clone. I like Mond from what I've read. Maybe he's got some Trubisky-ness to him, but there were actually reasons to LIKE Trubiksy. It just didn't work out and obviously not as a number 2 pick. In rd 3... Totally different calculus.
-
In other Bears topics, DeFillipo was at Davis Mills (QB, Stanford) Pro Day. He was a day 3 prospect by most to start the offseason, but seems hes rising quick, potentially a day 2 pick now. Maybe a name to watch if they don't trade up or pick a QB at 20. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/bears-scout-stanford-qb-davis-mills-pro-day-andy-dalton-introduced?amp&__twitter_impression=true

Per Biggs, the Bears want to add Golladay in addition to ARob. Not as a replacement. So maybe still in play. Reportedly a 1 year deal around 11-12. Biggs has been really reliable this offseason especially. We'll see what the Giants are offering. But at least maybe there's a logical plan happening with some of these cuts and signings (reinvesting from the D to the O)

He posted at 11:11, but that was Eastern time. Hicks is going to an EST team.

Cryptic tweets ftw. If I was an athlete I would kind of love just messing with fans.

Yea Rapaport threw it out I think. Of Shefter. One of them. I guess that occassionally happens though they coined it "almost nothing" as the return. But I guess if it kept him out of the NFC and the North specifically, it's worth it. Do it for like a 5th to 4th pick swap. It happened 2 days ago for Rodney Hudson of the Raiders. The team that got him gave up a 2nd or 3rd, IIRC. Okay I would have considered Fuller for a 2nd anyways. If they pulled that off, I'm good with that move.

100% agreed.

Also the cost of those restructures in cap terms is effectively zero. I'd argue you should always use those up first. Worst case if you somehow don't need them because you make other cap saving moves you just don't spend the cap space, roll it forward, and you're at a net zero place (albeit in a very round about way). So it's a zero opportunity cost move whereas a trade or cut has an actual opportunity cost component.
-
Well at this point, they just about need all those restructures and the Fuller cut to fit what they've done. It's possible they thought ARob would be locked up with a lower hit? If so that would have been foolish. Yea they may have been buying time for Fuller for something. Kind of comes back to the idea they don't need to move on from space any earlier than they need to. There's plenty of "pay as you go" options.
-
Well then 2023 is a top 5 pick for the next guy to get the right QB too lol Not of Pace trades it away for Mac Jones Wait he's reading 2 future picks to trade up?!?!
-
If the QB he moves up for is the guy, it won't matter. I don't see an issue with this. Of course, I also think Justin Fields and Trey Lance (possible trade up targets) are as talented and have more upside than any QB potentially in the 2022 draft. Yeah maybe by blind luck he might get the right guy but I don’t at all trust he will get the right guy Well then 2023 is a top 5 pick for the next guy to get the right QB too lol
