Not really surprising.
- 67% shot at an elite QB and manage to pick the bum
- have to release the only high level player in your secondary because you fucked up the cap so badly
- miss on every first round pick outside of a decent MLB
I mean where did people expect this FO to be ranked?
LOL
Uhhhh....better than last. Afterall, this team has finished .500 or better the last 3 years. I get that, that isn't great, but it is certainly better than last.
You're telling me the Lions, Jets, Jags, Bengals, and other perennial losing franchises are better run than the Bears. Give me a break!
The media is just trying to feed hope into loser franchises while hating on the hot seat betting favorites.
Your 3 points are overstated by the media.
Watson should have been the clear pick, but he may never play again, or at least not on the same team that drafted him. Mahomes was a great pick by KC, but no one considered him to be a top #10 pick. Heck, many projected him a 2nd round pick.
I was pissed about losing Fuller, but we saved 14 mil in cap space to do so. He wasn't willing to take a cut either considering how cheap of a deal he took. He was on the trade block as well. Many teams were in the same Boat with the shrinking cap. I think Pace was ready to move off of him anyways after this season.
1/3 on 1st rd picks. One could argue Floyd as being a a good pick considering that draft was terrible amd Floyd was one of the best players on the board. Pace could easily be 2/4 with Fields. It's a small sample size. He hits far more than the average outside the 1st round. Certainly not last place worthy.
