I would do it in a heartbeat. There are not players like Mack in every draft.

Never said that. I said you could sign Hicks, Goldman and Amos for about the same as the $22M that would cost Mack. The 2 first round picks could be used for players like Beasley (who I know we didn't draft - it was just a possibility at the time of drafting White) and Floyd. The 1st round players weren't counted to the $22M.
The point is that the value of Mack (his contract average of $20+M/year) plus the value of 2 potential 1st round picks, could (for some people) be less valuable than actually use the $20M for 2-3 good starters and 2 1st rounders.
Again, my initial point was simply that someone thought the only reason people wouldn't want to trade was purely for the risk. I was simply stating that value is also something to consider when making trades. My apologies if that confused you or wasn't worded properly, but you've yet to dispute that there's an inherent difference between risk and value and that not every decision is based solely on risk.

We could be down to a conditional 7th and Windy could still make a couple of dozen.

Get ready for the all day 3 Mock offseason.
I am the biggest mock draft fan here, but even I want to make the fucking playoffs before I die

Actually, that is the best counter argument for giving up two firsts I have seen yet. if Trubs turns out to be a scrub, can't wait three years to draft his replacement.

Tbh this thread has thoroughly convinced me that trading 2 firsts for Khalil Mack is absolutely worth it.

How about -
We give them our 1st in 2018 and 2019. We also throw in our 3rd in 2018.
They give us Mack and their 2nd next year.

Even if mitch is a bust he's getting this year and next year minimum to prove it. Then pace is fired anyway so...

But your ignoring the fact that the first rounders still cost you 10 mil collectively, and are at best a 50/50 proposition to be 4 year starters, let alone DPOY caliber, so your math is still off.

Tbh with Khalil Mack even with Trubisky playing at the level of Jay Cutler we'd probably have a favorable chance at the playoffs. Mack would really solidify the defense and with the backfield we have and the versatility we have on offense Trubisky really wouldn't need to be that good.
Now imagine if Trubisky turns out to be elite AND we get Mack?
Just fantasize about that for a second..

We all do.... and if the Bears did this they better make the playoffs this year or it's a huge fucking bust of a move.

Why is that? You don't think if MT improved through the year, that if they were a contender next year, it would be a good move? will another player of mack's caliber be available next year?

My favorite teams
If they make this move and they have a losing season then it is a bust...but if they get 9 wins and miss the playoffs then I wouldn't see this as a bust because there was significant improvement

Well yeah..... usually 10 wins gets you to the playoffs so that'd be a fluke occurrence to not make it if they won 10. But if this team goes 7-9 and has to wait till the 3rd round to pick then it's a terrible move.

Question:
When's the last time a team traded two firsts and it worked out for the team trading away picks? Is there a historical precedence here?

It happens in the draft all the time, do they count?
