So because the Williams / Maybe picks aren't for sale in 2024 we should trade 3 first round picks this year for lesser prospects?

Make it make sense.

This was obviously for the crowd saying do nothing and just wait for next years draft, but you knew that.

On a complete side note. I remember when Oldham used to be an extremely hard away game for any opponent. Consistently a top team on the second division, making noise in the FA cup etc. What happened? I’m not as close to it as I used to be in the 90s.

Will you please follow the context. It was referring to a post saying wait until next year for Williams and Maye. I’m saying that isn’t an option. 

It was in context - why are people advocating we trade away 3 years of first round picks for lesser prospects?

If any of the current crop were seen as franchise QBs the Bears wouldn't be trading out.

It was in response to wait until next year for Williams or Maye. That option isn’t realistic. I’m not saying we have to trade 3 firsts. You have some serious tunnel vision man…

First, technically it would be trading away two years of first round picks, as we'd be receiving back a first round pick this year.

Second, you assume the Bears can accurately grade a QB, and would overcome their sunk-cost fallacy and make the "logical" decision to move on from Fields.

Third, it's not about how good the prospects actually are, it's how NFL teams perceive how good they are. Caleb Williams may be the next Mahomes, or he may be the next Zach Wilson. But if teams perceive that he's the next Mahomes, then that top pick is not going to be for sale, regardless of how good he actually ends up being. There's no perception with this class that there's a Manning/Luck/Lawrence prospect, which is why the pick is being talked about as up for grabs.

The Athletic Bills writer has a pretty swervy mock draft recently without a trade happening and we miss on the top-4.  We land:

Jordan Addison WR, Nolan Smith EGDE/LB & Hendon Hooker QB, Calijah Kancey DT

Points for being different

Addison at 9 should get fitt fired

I think it is absolutely normal to be a bit of a homer and defend your guys. But would you really draft him in the top 10?

I’ve stated countless times dating back to last season I would draft Stroud first and Young second. I would be fine with drafting any of the four guys in the top ten. How does that make me a homer?

If we can’t get a QB in the first round I will be riding that trade back wagon.

I didn’t say you wanting him in the top 10 made you a homer. I said defending your guys is very common, a lot of people do that. I’m a Tar Heel and I defend UNC players as well. But that doesn’t mean I’d take them in the top 10. Good grief people are sensitive, I don’t think I could have written my question any nicer or clearer.

You literally used homer in your post quoting me. No need to spazz out. A lot of people have Will in the top 10 so I am far from alone.

Hahaha, I inferred that everyone is a homer and I passed no judgement. These are two separate things. One is being a homer and defending your guy against “accusations” from other posters. A completely different thing is how you rate said player I the draft. There is no spazzing or judgement, I was genuinely curious how you rate him. But you do you man.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.    I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that wouldn’t endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either.

      This is my answer. If I got board I would just do guest drop ins to obscure podcasts but would definitely collect the cash from Tepper.
