Someone will fall in love with Levis. I hope it’s Houston.

Hey do you guys think we should trade for Fields??

I could see that or if Stroud falls to 3.

And those picks weren’t for sale nor will they be when that happens again. Basically we have to be the worst team in the league to get one of those guys and that’s not happening with our new staff.

He thinks Young is the next Patrick Mahomes. If other GMs actually thought this the Bears phones would be blowing up. It’s easy to hype your guy up and say sensational things like “the next Mahomes” when your career isn’t on the line. The Bears aren’t risking it and rightfully so. Get more picks and address one of their other 1000 needs.

At least he knows that sounds crazy. A very bold career deciding move. If Young isn’t what you think and Fields keeps developing ouch… There goes your career as a GM.

The Colts just have a big advantage picking 4 vs 9.

We hired the best candidates we could get. Well said.

Who said trade 3 years worth of firsts? I'm ok with moving up to get a guy our staff in confident in. It doesn't have to be up to pick one, but I'm not against using a future pick to grab our guy if he is there to be had. Hell the Bills did it with Allen and the Chiefs did with Mahomes. Neither were "elite" prospects. If you are trading up for a QB that is available then he isn't an "elite" prospect because those go 1/2 and aren't available via trade. However, there are several with elite traits that our staff can develop.

It's the same thing over and over. People don't realize these elite prospects like Luck/Lawrence/Burrow are never going to be available via trade because teams never trade out of those picks. We are going to have to take a gamble on one at some point. We have hired a strong staff that can really deep dive into these prospects to see if there is one they can develop or not. I'm with you though, I am ready to take a chance on a prospect possibly even trading up if needed.

The real question is would you trade next year’s 3rd for Patrick Mahomes?

Jets or Raiders are the two that make the most sense.

It just depends on what we are looking for. Carr will want to be our starting QB for the next five plus years and be paid accordingly. Brissett would just be playing until our rookie and ready and then he would be a capable backup who can step in and win some games if needed. Brissett would also bring some familiarity with Reich’s offense.

Young is far from a sure thing as well. He is a great QB, but his size would make him a huge outlier in the realm of successful QBs. There is no Burrow/Luck/Lawrence in this draft so no need to ditch a young QB flashing potential for another question mark. Especially not when they have so many other needs…

Yeah the GM basically said from the beginning of the offseason Fields is the guy going forward.

Shocking....

Thomas Davis kind of did…

He doesn’t know what he is talking about. “Lamar needs talent around him” yeah his offense is so stacked with a TE and no other weapons. Who is the best WR Lamar’s played with? Keep in mind this guy thinks Icky is a bust and we should have drafted Aqeel Glass last year who is backup on the USFL now…

The “smart” gamble would be an opinion that only our staff is going to weigh in on. One first round pick for Player B at 9 who they believe they can develop, signing Carr for X amount against the salary cap, or trading up and losing X amount of assets for Player A. One isn’t really “gambling smart” vs the others IMO. It’s easier to bounce back if you miss on Player B at 9 than the others, but there is probably more risk. Just weighing out positives vs negatives.
