Per Rich Eisen: “The Bears are long down the road to trading the first overall pick. The teams have been identified, compensation is being hammered out.”

I would prefer a DE who can get sacks plus play the run. Burns is a liability in the run game. 

Well he's playing OLB next year, so.

Also, here's the thing - if Fitterer had traded Burns for 2 first round picks+ then he could make this rumoured trade up without too much long-term damage done.

Who are the teams that are shooting for pick #1?. Atlanta will supposedly be in the mix along with Panthers and likely Colts. This will be a shootout for number one spot.

I think Atlanta is in trolling to drive up our draft capital  if so. This division  is ruthless

Yeah I mean why would we want a career 67% passer, a little over 4k yards a season, 2.5:1 TD:Int ratio and almost 100 QB Rating

 

Is he Pat Mahomes? No, he's pretty fuging good though and the fact that you think ending up like Dak is a DOWNSIDE is hilarious.

You're willing to trade 3 first round picks for Dak?

It's why I was advocating for just sticking with Rhule through the season. Once we didn't fire him after his second season like we should have, we should've just seen our mistake through so that we could harvest the fruits of our mistake. We definitely have a top 5 pick if Rhule hadn't been fired. Potentially top 3.

 

I’ve been preaching this from day 1

This isn’t true but if it is it’s the Colts.  Just my opinion 

This makes the most sense. They not only get their pick of the lot, they get to jump and screw over a division rival. The price should work out for both since the Bears only move down to #4 and get their pick of the non-QB prospects.

Everyone just assumes we would be drafting Stroud in this hypothetical trade up. I'm not at all certain that's true.

This scares me man…giving up 3 firsts or more to go up for someone that isn’t Young or CJ is terrifying.  lol

Don’t think so at all. I’d say young is favorite 

Selecting him without giving up future picks is one thing. Trading up from nine to take a QB who is shorter and lighter than Matt Corral is a very risky move for a GM who needs a legit QB now.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
