Bears need Texans to hold the line.

[Rise]

The best chance for the Bears to get Watson is if the Texans keep their current stance about not trading him into the summer. They must hold this at least until the draft is over.

What the Bears should do in the draft if this is the case is try to turn the 20th pick into another 1st next year. Then they would have the ability to offer 4 1st round picks if needed during the summer. Texans might also think we are going to be bad so our picks will be better, similar to the Raiders.

If this trade goes down before the draft, and the Jets or Dolphins are willing to go to 3 1st round picks including the 2 or 3 spot, Bears stand no chance. If the Panthers are willing to match our picks they likely win out as well because of current drafting slot.

Bears could probably beat out the 49ers as if you give them Watson any future pick is most likely going to be late 20s or 32.

Thoughts?

the only thing you got right is “we are going to be bad”

my guess is Pace is on the hot seat and is not going to wait for watson if the Texans are not looking to trade him now. He will go all in for trying to get Carr or Stafford.

edit just noticed that stafford is going to the rams

Watson is not coming to Chicago. Everyone needs to move on.

Stafford is gone....Carr isn’t the answer unfortunately

where’s he going know-it-all?

Mia could offer #3, #18, #36, and #50, not even breaking a sweat in this draft. More than the Bears could offer in the next 2 or maybe 3 years.

Hell they could throw in Tua. Sadly, he alone may be more than the Bears can offer.

Nagy might trade his soul to Caserio for Watson.

I am pretty sure he already did that to become an NFL HC. If not there is no rational explanation why he continues to have a job..

Sounds like someone has been learning how football works from wallstreetbets.

Seriously? This is the whole point of this thread. It would be after this draft so all these picks would be irrelevant.

As long as Reddit doesn’t buy a football team my point stands. The Bears odds of winning a Watson bidding war go up if it’s after the draft.

CCS missed their calling. We could have bought the bears if only we all invested in GME.

67%, 4100yds, 27td, 9int seems like a pretty good answer to me..

Why do you always have to be so insulting to people? Jesus, what a fn troll.

Produced 1 winning season in 7
never been in the playoffs
Was 7-5 and headed to the post season and then lost 3 in a row last season.

I get that he is a good quarterback but to trade away 1st rd draft picks for him.....I’d rather not.

so are you going to apply this line of thinking with Watson as well? How many times had Mitch gone to the playoffs vs Watson?

No.
I’m all in for Watson. Watson will make the team better....Carr, I don’t think he can
Mitch who?
