Go back and try for a different pick, then. Surprised they didn't get him to throw in five more first-rounders, Burns, and the 2015 NFC championship trophy. Once he gets his heart set, you can get whatever you want out of him.

They never wanted Burns. He doesn’t help on the run game.

The only people who think we got fleeced are idiotic Bears fans. The Bears were going to get a haul from whatever team they picked to do business with. Props to our FO and coaches for having the guts to make this trade. To basically only give up one first round pick next year is pretty phenomenal, considering several years back the 49ers used two 1sts and a 3rd only to move to the third pick for Trey Lance. Hurts to lose DJ, but WR’s come and go. Look at KC, traded their All-world WR (who is better than DJ) and then went and won the Super Bowl with a bunch of average WRs. We’ll reload in that department.
 

Stating the obvious that this is a QB driven league. Short of sucking so hard into a top two pick, this is the best way to land an absolute stud that could define the franchise for the next 10-15 years. LFG

If Moore's such a replaceable target, why could we not find someone 1/10 as good, and why did Chicago covet him so much?

You’re asking the wrong guy. I didn’t want to give up DJ. He’d help a new QB out and if grabbing WR was so simple, as you said, we would have had a number 2 close in talent and production to DJ already. 
 

Id rather give up something else but you’re asking Chicago to drop to 9 so you have to give a little something extra. We don’t have too many guys on the roster with that kind of value. So unfortunately it was DJ who had to go.

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

I think it was a fair trade for both teams. A lot of how the trade will be viewed moving forward depends on how well DJ performs with Fields. And, of course, if we land a franchise QB.

If we end up with a top 10 QB in the league, five years from now fans will think we fleeced the Bears.

Moore, Claypool, Moony and Kmet was looking decent. Fields has some weapons and I’m sure they are addressing the OL/DEF with FA and draft. Fields should take another step forward.

In his last four seasons, Moore has 4,413 receiving yards, which ranks seventh among all NFL receivers.

He also ranks 17th out of 84 in yards per route run. He put together three straight 1,100-yard seasons and never caught fewer than 55 balls in a season.

I don’t think Bears fans are idiots for feeling they got the better of the deal. I also don’t think we should be too upset. We just need to nail the pick for it to make sense. 
 

You can trade up to 1 but still pick the wrong guy. It’s like when Chicago traded up to get Mitch. The move was solid. The pick was wrong. Had it been Mahomes instead history would be nicer to them. 
 

We made the right trade. Now we need to make the right pick.

Now, D.J Moore arrives in Chicago to become quarterback Justin Fields' preferred weapon.

Moore is not an upper-echelon elite receiver. He doesn't live in the Justin Jefferson-Tyreek Hill zip code.

He's a block over where the up-and-comers reside. Those preparing to upgrade their residency.

I don’t think we got fleeced but we gave up two firsts, this year’s and next year’s. People can call it a swap but Chicago got two first round picks from us. 

Bears 2023, #1,1st round pick turned into 2023, #9,1st round pick.

Our 2023, #9, 1st round pick became 2023,#1,1st round pick...

We did NOT lose this years pick.

And he’s young and his extension was signed before everyone went nuts on WR contracts.

I wasn't directly asking you. I'm just pointing out how bad a trade it was.

      Sugar Defender Reviews (Thriving in Accomplished Aims) Official Website Alert!

      By Smith · Posted

      ast updated today 19th May 2024 Some people are unsure if Sugar Defender  is real, so here's the truth: there's no evidence that it's a scam. The company clearly lists all the ingredients and doesn't make wild promises. Instead, they support their claims with scientific studies. They have research backing up what they say about Sugar Defender's benefits. Even if some people are skeptical, there's no proof that Sugar Defender is fake. It's important to look at the facts and see that the company is being honest and open about their product.         Order Now Sugar Defender and Get 85% Off   The best part about this supplement is that it's really easy to use, and you don't need to do anything extra to keep your blood sugar levels steady. Plus, it's all-natural and made safely to address the main cause of blood sugar problems.   How long does it take for Sugar Defender to work? How fast Sugar Defender works can be different for each person. It depends on things like how fast your body works, any health issues you already have, and how often you use it. But since they give you 60 days to try it out and get your money back if it doesn't work for you, it's likely that most people see some changes within that time if they use it like they're supposed to. For the best results, use it for at least 90 days.   What Is Sugar Defender? Sugar Defender is a special formula that helps your body respond better to insulin. It's made with the purest ingredients. Every ingredient has been tested many times to make sure they're the best, and the company says there are no stimulants, chemicals, or things that could cause allergies in it. They make it in a super clean lab that follows strict rules. The goal of Sugar Defender is to naturally lower your blood sugar levels and keep them steady and healthy. It's a supplement that won't get you hooked and doesn't have any stimulants or GMOs. And guess what? It's easy to use! Each bottle has enough for a whole month. Just take the right amount every day, and you're all set!

      Agree on Necas, he’s gone. Guentzel seems 50-50 to me, Canes would have to pony up. Still not sure Skjei will be back. From exit interviews he seemed less optimistic than Pesce and I definitely don’t think Pesce is back. Jarvis and Noesen have to be back. I think if Kuzy shoots more he could be a great asset. Put him with a passer like Turbo and a net front like Noesen.
