Bears have been approached by multiple teams for #1 Pick and are leaning towards trading the pick away per Adam Schefter

The full potential of the coaching staff. Hmm, how does that work?

Give them a full of talent kid who really only needs tactical coaching, he has every tool and mechanical refinement. 
Will your full potential be needed on a guy like that? 

Take another on, say you have a guy like Minshew.  Change it to Darnold. Whatever, I can’t think of the best example right now. I bet they have to work a bit harder. You might be working to your full potential. 
 

I think they are most valuable if they knew to take example one. First test of their abilities. Because they were good enough to know the difference between that guy and others like him that bust out. 

If you get the right qb it doesn’t matter if you gave two 1sts or three. Bu5 if you get the wrong one, you will think dammit Darnold or Minshew was sitting right there and we were so damned smart. You will be thinking g that for YEARS.

Our qb isnt in the top 4 of this draft. You go nowhere with a bad/mediocre qb also and you lose picks to get that bad qb.The math says no.

Frankly don't care what the "Math" says and I'm tired of first round picks in all honesty. Did Luke ever lead us to a ring?(Bless his soul), did Jordan Gross ever lead us to a ring? Did Vernon Butler ever lead us to a ring? The answer is NO.

I'm ready to trade up in the draft, 3-4 first round picks doesn't matter to me. I'm tired of the same sh*t every year, and if it doesn't work, then f*ck it, we tried atleast.

Hopefully we are not one of those teams calling about the #1 pick

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.

Just chatted with Ryan Leaf (not really) and he reminded me that highly rated QBs always work out

I remember when he said he wouldn’t draft Cam newton #1

Bryce is the only one worth using future capital on. And even with him, I wouldn’t absolutely sell the farm. This team isn’t in position to. We’ve a few other holes and a defense that’s changing. One of the four will fall.

We also have never had an offensive minded coach either. I don't need to see us spend a multitude of picks yet to go get a QB. I'm willing to give this coaching staff more than a couple of months to evaluate and find the right QB pick. It could be that they don't think there is one worth trading up to get. Maybe there is. I'm willing to finally allow offensive minded people make some decisions instead of a defensive HC and a wanna be cheerleader.

When the Panthers are finally able to pick at #9... 

All 4 top QBs (Young, Stroud, Levis, Anderson) will be gone
All top D-Lineman (Carter, Anderson, Murphy) gone
All top Defensive Backs (Branch, Witherspoon, Gonzalez)... That is right, also gone
All Wr/TE/RB (Johnston, Flowers, Mayer, Robinson, Addison) gone!

Our only option is to Ricky Williams this thing yall. 

4 qbs have never been drafted in the top 8 in the history of the nfl draft.  Someone always drops.

If we had ended up with a top 3 pick and moving to #1 wasnt going to  cost us significantly I wouldnt have made the comment.

 

But if we have to give up 3 1s to get that first choice then they all do.  They are all just as capable of turning into a Leaf, Marinovich, or Russel. 

Im a long way from the smartest football guy around here but the idea of trading years worth of firsts seems wrong-headed when it doesnt come with a guarantee.

So you wait until you suck to get a QB??

How long is that going to be..

Trade what you have to and get the QB..

Plain and simple 

We’re are finally in position to make this move a success..

Sure looks like the top 4 QBs could be off the board by pick 8.  We will have to trade up regardless 

Or we'll be in a lovely position to take the best WR etc on the board.

If we don’t get a QB then this rockstar coaching staff is not being utilized to its full potential. We have the guys in place to develop a franchise QB right now. If we wanted to lower the cost of drafting our QB, the time to do it was during last season. Trading Burns could have given us extra ammo. Going 5-3 to end the season did us no favors.

And you're also cutting the nuts off this 'rockstar coaching staff' by telling them they don't have a first round pick for the next three years.
