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.”

To keep our '24 and '25 firsts? To draft a player like.....Burns? 

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

Gotta be between us and the Colts.

The QB market is so wild right now Geno Smith just got 105 million. And still there are people scared of trading up for our own guy

Everyone wanting this firmly believes Stroud is the franchise savior, I just don’t see it. Where are we getting this franchise saving profile from? He’s good, for sure, but he’s not this home run, knock it out of the park and forget it. In fact, would it shock anyone if he ends up being a Dak level qb?

 

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.

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.

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

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

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

[LinvilleGorge]

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

a 27 year old Dak after his leg was ripped off his body? No

A 22 year old Dak coming into the league with no injury history? Abso-fuging-lutely

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

Not if Lamars mom can convince Isray to cough up 2 1st round picks and pay her son 250 mil guaranteed.  It could happen right?

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

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.
