If the bears end up with #2 overall then there should be a handful of teams bartering to move up.
To those of you thinking it’s going to land a haul because SF made a generationally bad trade … it just ain’t gonna happen. I can already see the threads ripping poles for ‘not getting enough’ for the 2nd overall pick because on their brane he should’ve got more.
You need to look at draft trade calculators/values.
If someone wanted to move from 11 to 2 it would take their 11th pick from every round plus more from next year. (My ideal trade would be to get just out of a top 10 contract in 5 years.)
Look at what Pace had to give to go from 20 to 11. Look at what he had to give to move up one space to 2 from 3. Those weren't bad deals for the move.
What will dictate a haul or not is where the other team is wanting to move from but any way you slice it 2 is a valuable spot.
Even getting #5 the fifth pick in every round to the fifth would be a fair deal for #2 and would go a long way to filling the team with talent in the same draft. So I'd call any equal value trade for #2 a haul.
And I don't think SF was that bad of a deal. Next year's picks are worth half. That's the price of moving up to the top picks. If you're moving up far to get there you don't have enough in the same year to pay for it. The 3 firsts was pretty much the value of moving up, the extra was a comp pick.
