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 get our franchise qb

Are you not fine with giving up our 24 and 25 picks for him like the rumors are saying? That should get it done anyway.

In essence, would you rather have 24 and 25 1sts or Burns?

We can still get him and keep Burns though?

[Asaria]

To the crowd screaming we can't trade 3 first or whatever, here are 3 of our previous first round picks.

Kelvin Benjamin.

Vernon Butler

Armanti Edwards

The draft is a crapshoot for a reason.

I would rather have traded burns for 2 firsts and a second.  Burns is a one trick pony

Armanti Edward wasn’t a first round pick… not even close….

To be fair you’re trading the picks for a higher pick which by your definition is a crapshoot. Also Armanti was like pick 80

Armanti Edwards was a 3rd round pick. We used our future second, which happened to be the 1st pick of the second round, but he was in no way a 1st rounder.

We did trade a 2nd rounder to get the pick we used on Armanti, after we drafted Clausen, that draft was terrible lol

This is a terrible, terrible argument. 
 

Luke Kuechly, JC Horn, Ikem, Burns, Brown, Moore, Shaq*, Mccaffrey, Cam,  and Star were all more than worth it. You can’t cherry pick three random players from 13, 8 and 7 years ago and say “first round picks aren’t worth it”.

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?

Why aren’t more people on board with keeping future capital intact and taking (more than likely) the available Richardson or Levis. IF Rodgers moved to LV, I don’t think we have to move at all. Sorry, I guess I’m just not fully on board with having no real capital for the next three years.

Seattle just took themselves out of the QB running - re-signed Geno Smith for a bajillion dollars.

They could always trade the pick to us

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.
