Which, in Nguyen's analysis, means overpaying for him not once but twice.

Would it be overpaying to trade a second round pick for Brian Burns? Respectfully, I completely disagree with his assessment here. We would be crucified for trading Burns away for a second. This guy has more sacks than Burns this year and doesn't have the same hole Burns has in his game of being one of the worst edge defenders against the run in the NFL. Like, dude is a complete player.

The Bears trading a 2nd for Sweat definitely isn't overpaying. I honestly thought the Commanders probably should've traded Young instead. He's been their version of Jaycee Horn. Good when available but rarely available. Young could've probably fetched them more on the trade market and he'll be more costly to re-sign to boot.

What surprises me is that the Bears were buyers on the market but I guess they are sitting pretty with draft capital right now.

This, Jamo or Jalen Johnson would be an excellent forward-thinking move. Probalby comes down to assets going out from Carolina, which will most likely be too expensive for us.

Still holding out hope that TMJ + 4th gets us a reuniting of Bryce and Jamo Williams.

Not a chance in hell. Lions would have zero motivation to do that. Like what is their motivation to move on and not keep developing him? Why would they be that desperate to give up a 2022 first rounder for a 4th round pick? Makes no sense.

If you were to ask a bunch of NFL GMs to evaluate the two, I kinda doubt you'd find many who'd put a higher value on Montez Sweat than Brian Burns, especially given the context of their situations.

    • the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.
    • I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
    • There's no discussion anymore, it's just a circle jerk about how bad Bryce is, and it got old a while ago.
