Moore was a good, solid WR.  He did not instill fear in defenses--someone said it best, "He is a #2."  His contract was team friendly as a #1.

In an article from Green Bay after Rhule was fired, the writer suggested/estimated that a trade for Moore would cost: " If there is a deal to be done, it could be a for 2023 2nd-round pick and a 2024 4th-rounder."

So yes, instead of a 2025 first round selection, they basically got the 2023 equivalent of a second and fourth.  This was worth it for the Bears because Fields needs veteran WR help now, and it was worth it for the Panthers, who probably did not want to go more than 1 year without a first round selection.

 

I mean I could just as easily write an article saying Mahomes could be had for a jam sandwich.

So if it’s Stroud are you ok with this trade to get him?

I'm still not happy with it because of the player being given up, but that's the only way I can justify the deal in any way.

Forfeiting picks matters less when you choose the right player, but when you don't, you're ending up with egg on your face and even more embarrassment for a franchise that, bar December of last year, has collected it like pollen on a car for years. 

In short: yeah, I'd get it. Still wouldn't be crazy about it, but it beats the alternatives of having lousy QB play and overpaying for garbage WRs. That part's coming next regardless.

Casual fans who don’t consider the pick swap say we gave up two 1sts. Then there is a discrepancy on how DJ is valued. 

Transactionally, we gave up two firsts but received one back.  Incrementally, we gave up one additional first.  But I quibble...

Let’s see what we do to address the WR room and if we pick Stroud before we release final judgement. Does that seem fair?

Considering all the Bears fans and radio hosts were yelling for like a 2023 1st 2 2nds, 2024 first, 2025 first and second, DJ Moore and Brian Burns, I would say they probably feel like they got fleeced lol.

Reality is, it didn't matter who traded up for 1, it was always going to look like a fleecing, that why it's only happened like 13 times in NFL history.

Good deal for both teams because Chicago got the #1 receiver they’ve been needing since Robinson left and we didn’t have to give up nearly as much draft capital as was originally expected. People saying we got fleeced are just saying that cuz it’s the Panthers so of course whatever they did was the dumb move.  They also tend to overlook the details like how this year’s second is the later one and we still have our second round pick and how the other second is two years down the road, not next year’s.  I even heard one ESPN reporter talking to Schefter say “2023 first and second and 2024 first and second plus DJ Moore!” and Schefter didn’t even bother to correct him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
