You may remember that Josh Allen game as the one where they scored 7 touchdowns on 7 drives. This kid is it. If my team passed on him I’d fire everyone.
Have to see how situation ends up for Bears at this point
Bears can still come out big winner here depending how they utilize rest of picks from that trade
- Bears traded 9th overall (DT Jalen Carter) to Eagles for 10th overall (RT Darnell Wright) + 2024 4th round pick (?)
- Bears traded 61st overall (TE Brenton Strange ) + 136th overall (LB Yasir Abdullah) to Jaguars for 56th overall (CB Tyrique Stevenson)
Trade tree/asset management perspective thus far Bears have
WR DJ Moore
RT Darnell Wright (2023 1st, 10th overall)
CB Tyrique Stevenson (2023 2nd, 56th overall)
2024 Panthers 1st round pick (1st overall)
2024 Eagles 4th round pick (?)
2025 Panthers 2nd round pick (?)
So far looking promising for Bears but of course this year's draft is major moment for franchise
Panthers on other hand head into next year needing to see something from Young. If he struggles again, they may seriously have to consider moving on after 2 years (If a QB drafted high is awful in first two years usually its safe indicator you drafted bust)
