OT: Bears & NFL Talk 76

[No Fun Shogun]

If Foles is halfway decent, that would be enough to turn the offense into "not shit" and might even make us a playoff team if the defense is comparable to last year.

Not a recipe for a deep playoff run, though.

 

[HeisenBaez]

I mean I'll take Jalen Hurts later on if the Bears decide to trade down.

It sounds like Hurts is going no later than the 2nd round. So if the Bears want him, it has to be there.

 

[saluki]

Why wouldn't it surprise me to see the Pats take Hurts?

I think he should go before Jordan Love. Love should send a big thanks to Mahomes that he's even in the 1st round discussion. No QB-needy GM wants to miss on the next Mahomes.

 

[RayP]

It sounds like Hurts is going no later than the 2nd round. So if the Bears want him, it has to be there.

I could see his stock slightly increasing the closer we get to the draft and even maybe jump into the late first round if there is a QB run early, which it seems there always is regardless of the quality.

I’d take him with one of our second rounders, but I doubt he’s there by then.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I've already accepted the fact that Tua is going to fall to the Pats and he and BB will go on to win five more Super Bowls in the next twenty years.

Yeah, that or he'll end up in GB and haunt the Bears for a decade.

you shut your whore mouth!

Bears are expected to trade down with at least one but possible with both of their second round picks.
Per bleacher report.

Big fan of doing that with both picks.

Good, they should do that, as long as they can grab a 3rd without dropping out of the 2nd.

With the 43rd pick I wouldn't want to drop back too far. With the other one, I 'd try to pick up a late 3rd.

To get a 3 round pick along with a later second would require the 43rd pick to be moved.
50th pick would be a tough one to move down 10 spots and get a 3rd back. More then likely you'll start to accumulate 4th round picks.

All depends on whose on the board when they pick and what they think of the player.

I screwed that up, I was hoping they'd get a late 3rd from the trade down from 43, and then if they moved down again a few spots from 50 and grab a 4th. Maybe even trade one of their 6ths to upgrade a return pick.

If they stay put, Walterfootball.com has them taking Ezra Cleveland (OT) and Jalen Reagor (WR) with their two picks. Those would be great, even if they have to wait until the 5th to pick again.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Can't stand this double posting crap.

Agreed. Like anything it really depends on how far are the bears comfortable moving down. The better the return will be.

If it was up to me, I'd stay put at 43 and try to trade 50+ a 6th to move down to the top of the 3rd round and grab a 4th as well.

 

[saluki]

I think they have to play it by ear.

If Trevon Diggs is still there how can they not take him?

All depends on their board, but completely agree.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Bears DL Roy Robertson-Harris signs his tender. Worth $3.2 million.

 

[HeisenBaez]

Pats end up with Tua only if they trade into the top 5. I'm not buying this Mel Kiper, Jr crap on Tua dropping. Passing on Tua will get multiple GM's fired.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

My theory is BB is going to tank, get Lawrence, and keep rolling for another 20 years.

 

[HawksBeerFan]

I disagree, I think he really wants to prove to the world he can do this without Tom or a different elite QB.

He wants to win with a guy like Stidham.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Of course the pats will compete. But this is a transition year for them. They will get to clean up their cap situation.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

A transition year Pats should still win the AFC East.

 

[saluki]

I propose a new verb for "not overthinking each pick and trying to be more clever than everybody else". There are quite a few names I could use but I'm gong to settle on Shaheen.

The Bears have a lot of solid players who can make plays and some pluggable holes. All they have to is not shaheen this draft.

Please Pace, don't shaheen this draft. If a solid CB who has NFL measurables and had a productive NCAA career in a power conference is there in the 2d rd JUST TAKE HIM. Don't shaheen yourself into corner.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Bears resign CB and special team mainstay Sherrick McManis to a one year deal.
