So I am torn on Russ when we throw out 1st Round Picks. We look at 1st round picks and freak out but the flip of that argument is that IF we added Russ, over the next three years, we are probably a playoff contender and would always be drafting where we are today or even further down (so 20th pick or later). Once you get to those later 1st rounders, the "value" isn't as great.
What I would consider, if I were the Bears is if they want the 1st rounders, we exclude this years pick because we desperately need to build the O-line back up. would they go for 22, 23, 24 1st rounders and a player or two. This way they get what they want and actually that 24 first rounder could be a solid pick if Russ falls off a cliff but also allows us to set up for future success.
