Bears would have accepted Moore, Burns or Brown.

Most valued positions:

tier 1:  QB

tier 2: protection of QB(LT) and pressure/rush on QB(DT/edge)

tier 3: defense against pass attack non-rush (lockdown cornerback)

tier 4: passing weapons (WR/TE)

it’s easier to find competent WR and TEs when you have the other tiers in place…thus Moore was the right one here.  There are outliers like a Kuechly you could place into tier 3 I think but general rule of thumb outline

As much as I think DJ is a great guy, the team made the right decision. DJ wasn't playing up to his contract. Yes, there were QB issues galore and game planning issues, too, but DJ wasn't giving it his all every time he got out on the field.

We cleared a big cap headache for the future and secured some defensive building blocks in the same move. I think they made the right decision and DJ will grab some big paychecks and use them to buy heavier coats.

Good luck to DJ, though.

DJ played with one of the worst series of QB's/Coaches in the NFL over the last several years.  IMO, and with all things considered, he outplayed his contract.

I did some back of the napkin correlations between post season success and position rankings.

Obviously there is a strong correlation between QB and success but weak regarding the defensive line, (not the entire defense).  Most of the top ten defensives lines did not make the playoffs.  WRs rankings had a stronger correlation than the defensive line but not by a lot.

Going in I thought Moore was a better trade than Brown, but maybe not, especially with a young QB.

He absolutely did. Those who've attacked him on here will be the ones creating "We Never Should've Let DJ Go" threads in September.

I actually would have let Burns go.  Largely looking contracts and timelines.  And I am largely assuming the Panthers are going to sign him to a massive deal. 

We just extended DJ Moore.  Contract was decent given what he was.  DJ Moore was an overall complete WR that got it consistently done in the worst of times.   We are drafting a rookie QB we hope to develop. 

Burns is a one dimensional DE.   I think the Panthers are going to pay him like he is a complete and dominant DE.  Which he isn't.  And he isn't a freakshow out of this world pass rusher.   Fine player that I loved to have....but that was rookie contract Burns.   I'm no longer thinking of that dude.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
