Which side of the fence are you on.... sell the farm to move up to #3 or sit tight at 9?

Just pay the extra and go to 1. Show the world who our guy is that we identified and said would lead us going forward. Don’t stop at three and hope that 1 and 2 pass over our guy. Don’t go to the 3 just to settle for the third best. 

yep and the bears can easily move up if they want or they stay put and still get the best tackle in the draft

[Sturgeon]

With this staff.

 

Stay put or trade back.

Ive got a lot of confidence in this set of coaches getting the most out of a QB and I dont want them to give away the farm to move up.

This is my thinking. Give these guys the EXACT player they want. If you are Tepper, empower your GM to get the guys you just hired the exact player they want at the most important position in football.

#1 or bust. Settling for #3 would be dangerous.

Chose 9 because the option to trade down wasn't there. Would rather get Hooker or McKee in rd2 and get more picks. 

Completely agree. If we trade the farm for a guy turns out to be Trubisky or Zach Wilson, this franchise is on its heels for another 5+ years.

You stay put at 9 and see who falls. If the big 4 are gone, then try to trade down for the next QB the staff likes. We apparently like Hooker. By staying put we're not risking future draft capital, and we're ok if Hooker poops the bed. We can find another QB with the 2024 or 25' draft.

When you try to trade up you run head long into negotiations with teams that have a lot of offers, and they see you as QB desperate. Not good. And losing future 1st round picks for QB who might flop horribly is an extreme gamble. If he's bad the whole Panthers staff is in BIG trouble, and we have no 1st for 24' and possibly 25'. Hell no. Don't do that.

[heel31ok]

I like the farm and want to keep it.

[Bear Hands]

I think a negotiated price for #1 would look like: Pick 9, Pick 39, 2024 1st, 2024 3rd, 2025 1st, & maybe a player

If that's the case, I'd like to think Chicago wouldn't have an issue throwing us a mid rounder in return as well with Pick 1.  Ends up with...

2023: 7 picks total 1-1, 61 (2nd), 94 (3rd), (3)4ths (one from Chi) and (1)5th

2024: 6 picks total 2nd, 4th, (2)5ths, 6th, 7th

2025: All picks sans R1

And then who knows, by the time 2025 rolls around, maybe there's an opportunity where we've netted a first through a separate trade.  

This year could still end up with a group like:

1-Stroud QB, 2-Downs WR, 3-LaPorta TE (or something along those lines, get some defensive players with the later picks)

Sit put at #9.  The underwear olympics gets guys almost as excited as an issue of Hustler magazine.

if you go to 3 might as well keep going, not much difference

An extra 1st.  Moving to #3 may just be this years and '24 first along with some other late picks. I'm not sure if you are aware, but just moving from number 3 to 1 is 800 points, or equivalent to the #21 pick....which happens to still be a first round value.

I am a of the mindset you MUST move up to 3

Not me.

[top dawg]

IF we trade up, it has to be to one. Otherwise trading up really makes no sense unless we're doing it during the draft to get our guy. 

That's my take, and I'm sticking to it.
