Dick Allen Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Schaffer just said you can take it to the bank 4 QBs will be taken in the first 6 or 7 picks. That means #5 is going to go a lot earlier than he should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they trade A-Rob then they really need to add two legit WRs IMO. I love Mooney but I don’t ever see him becoming a #1 WR. This draft is loaded though so we should be able to land a decent one in the 2nd or 3rd if we hold onto those picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Tomorrow should be a big day as every team has to get under the cap. There should be some pretty good casualties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very clear there are three A tier QB prospects in this draft, but Lance & Jones are a tier below and aren’t guarantees to go top ten IMO. I think one will and the other will fall to the middle of the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are just way too many teams in need of a QB - so even if one is more a mid 1st round or late 1st round grade, given the importance of the position in the game and the amount of teams who are in need - there is no way one falls to 20 unless they just bomb their proday/interviews/meetings with teams.

I would say 1 - you can get another in the draft and 1 via FA. I actually think Mooney has a legit chance to be an elite wideout. Not sure it will happen but he has a TON of tools. I'd prefer to keep Arob and presume that is the path the Bears would go - but I don't love that much money tied up at wideout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 This is so dumb, that's so much money to waste on Andy freakin Dalton. Pace has thrown away so much capital at getting terrible qbs. This franchise won't improve until he's gone, what a terrible terrible GM hire, once again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I won't jump to conclusion(s) - yet. I don't think this stops them from grabbing another guy and not sure how this deal is structured. It just might mean if they get a wilson or someone else that they will need to move Nick Foles as part of that deal and quite frankly - that shouldn't be an issue. It seems like if anything - they wanted to hedge their bets - because - I get it - you can't just assume you'll get Wilson and/or have access to a top flight 1st round pick. Plus - for all of you who rip on Pace - isn't this what a new GM would have probably done anyway - bring in a bridge QB and start to churn the roster and/or make other decisions - so worse case - Pace doesn't make a big swing at a young QB and or one of the all pro's available - and it is kind of one of those - depending on health/defense/schedule this team will win anywhere from 6 to 10 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Even if the Bears think he will be good, what other team was willing to give him $9 million that necessitated the Bears offering $10 million??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that Tyrod Taylor just made $10mill plus. But why the bears felt they needed to have dalton while also having foles? No idea.

And I'm sorry, but with the way the media works today, the Bears did NOTHING to calm the Russell Wilson rumors. I don't want to hear "Well that's the fans fault for getting excited, the Bears probably never were even close." If that's the case, then you dump cold water on those reports to the "Insiders" that were reporting it. But they let it reach critical levels. Now the fan base has to accept Nick Foles and Andy Dalton in 2021. Where is this franchise going? What does this move accomplish? What is the plan here?

I think there are always plenty of teams in need of QBs, but it’s a far bigger price to take a B tier QB prospect if you’re passing on a cornerstone tackle, EDGE, or CB. That’s why five QBs in the top 10 is mostly unprecedented. Also, I’m not suggesting Jones or Lance falls to 20 but closer to 15. Honestly, the only reason I point this out is going up 10 picks in the 1st is going to require a significant amount of draft capital while going up five spots should much more reasonable. This is just me speculating of course and watch all five go in the first 10 picks and then the Bears having to gamble on someone like Trask or Newman in the 2nd or 3rd.

Bears are in a bad spot to trade for Wilson or Watson. Limited 1st round picks can be traded (believe it's 3 but someway to make it 4 on draft day) and they have no viable QB to trade back. Pete Carrol (sp?) is 70, he's not interested I'm sure in a long rebuild. No great answers for this team other then to blow it up, wish they started that process this year, but McCaskeys didn't want to pay Nagy and Pace to go away.
