Draft Day Trades

[Bear Pride]

- Did you pick Miami for any reason? Like do they have a ton of picks and wouldn't be interested in 2nd RB?

I'd be fine with the Bears getting the RB they want. I don't think they're desperate for picks this year.


- I'm assuming Giants have a lot of picks, where they like to move up.

I'd prefer Bears go for quality, not quantity, but if they see a strong middle draft, collecting a couple drafts sounds smart.

I think he was using teams that would work good on the trade value chart as a starting reference ....

And Yes, The Giants pick 6th in the 1st and have a total .... two 1sts, one 2nd, one 3rd, two 4ths, three 5ths, one 6th, and two 7ths. With Barkley aboard, the Giants could do some damage this draft.

I see Safety and HaHa a little differently...

If HaHa does well, I'm not sure that we can't afford to keep him.

Also, for any position it's great to get a really good rookie-contract player, but I think Bears still need to look at HaHa, Bush and DHC... spend higher draft picks on other positions.

Yeah i guess you're right and i could see them re-signing HaHa if he plays well in our secondary with Eddie and our CB's. I'm a little worried about how both HaHa and Eddie are really FS's and not really SS or box safeties but if Nagy/Pagano and Pace were worried about it then they wouldn't of signed him so excited to see how he plays with our defense.

If Pace identifies "Their Guy"......he is nor afraid to move up through a creative trade or two. Kinda wondering if Henderson might just be ...."that guy?!"

I hear ya, HaHa has played FS, and has good ball skills, but he's also a good tackler, not afraid to hit hard, and has decent size/strength at 6' 208lbs.

HaHa was a tackle machine in Wash. His 9 Game rate would have been 118 tackles for the year. Amos only had 73 (2018).

How bout trading a pick for a proven RB or wait for cuts?
or just pray that luck is with the Bears.

I'm not sure what kind of proven RB is on the table for that. Personally, I'd much rather spend a draft pick (don't care which round) on a RB that has the skill set to be part of this team for four years. If that's moving up for Sanders, great, do that. If you tab Henderson and get him in the 4th, do it. I'm not going to sit back and be picky when it looks like we have a capable GM and innovative HC acting on the same plan.

Because we sent Howard to Philly, made the playoffs for the first time in a decade, and have been barraged by this message that one must win a SB with a QB on a rookie contract, it looks like fans suddenly went into "win now" mode. If we draft a running back, it isn't just for next year, but ideally for a significant part of that player's career. To that end, I hope whatever RB they might bring in can chip in for 200 snaps his rookie year, but honestly, this is a team built around the pass. This team wins and loses on Trubisky, not whoever is playing RB.

With the amount of time and effort the staff is putting towards scouting nearly every mid round RB in this draft they better find that "diamond in the rough".

14/46 of the prospects we have met with thus far are RB's. Interestingly enough we still haven't met with Henderson, who a lot of people on here like.

If we do draft a RB, Pace best hope that it works out great. I feel more comfortable gettin' a proven player.

 

[Rob219_CBMB]

I'm not sure what kind of proven RB is on the table for that.

One of them we missed out on, Hunt... when to the browns instead.
that's my type of proven player, when we all watch him play you know it, the fact that these types of dudes are gonna be around for a while. You lock them up.

Actually...We should plug in the talent to make Trubisky successful. I'm sure our Defense is definitely is WIN NOW mode.

D.H. is the only RB within our reach that looks most LEGIT to me. the other RB's ranked 3rd round and later type aren't settling to me.

I would be fine if the Bears used THEIR OWN 2020 2nd round pick to move up into the mid 2nd round to get the RB that they want.

Last year it cost a 4th round pick and a future 2nd to get the 51st pick. If Henderson or Sanders hit pick 56 I would call and see if they would take that deal again if I loved those RBs.

The first scenario would be idiotic. Unless, Pace does it, then it is aggressive and genius.

I heard the Bears met with Josh Jacobs & gave him a private workout. If Pace pulls that one off Ill burst through my ceiling. Besides him I like all of Henderson, Tayveon W., Weber, & Sanders. Id be fine with any of those names.

I have a feeling Pace is going to move up.

I don't understand this thought process. If paying Trubisky would kill of chances of continuing to have a shot to contend...why pay him? It makes no sense to think this way.

BTW, I don't think it does hurt us, it just means our cap has to be allocated differently. We MAY have to make a decision between Trubs and Mack, but at that point losing either shouldn't kill our chances with the rest of our talent continuing to develop...

If I may say so... I think you're overthinking this. It's just a matter of having less money.

In 2021 Trubisky will probably go from $9m to $18-20m. So you got to jettison a $9m player.

It doesn't destroy a SB contender, but it's a hit to the team.

I'm sure it will "even out" in the sense that: I like where Mitch is heading, I think he'll be that much better in 2021.

Yeah, I mildly would have prefered RB Coleman to Davis, but I like what Davis has done on tape. He seems very solid in rushing with some moves, speed and power, and catching out the backfield. I don't know what kind of blocker he is, but I think we're "safe" with him.

The draft RB will be a general risk, but it looks very glass half-full to me.

We'll have Davis, Patterson, Cohen and Nall. We won't be dependent on the draft RB.

man, depends on what we're giving up. we have depth needs.

Davis' contract isn't paid-out to a starting RB tho. Thing about Davis tho is the fact that WE ALL aren't so sure of what he really can do.

The feeling is gettin' more serious everyday while we get closer the draft, that we're definitely picking up a RB. Possibly trading up, i meant. (i totally didn't feel comfortable saying this)

Ok, and which player do you think is available for us to acquire in trade and what would you give up? What proven player that adds to the offense do you think is going to get cut? I'm all for chatting football, but it feels like you're stating wishes instead of asserting ideas. Which is fine, but I have no idea where to go with that.

Hunt would have been crazy awesome for us to get. Word was that Chicago was in the mix. The problem is, everyone was waiting for his suspension to be announced and Cleveland pounced. Thems the breaks, but I feel confident saying that nobody near Hunt's level of talent is going to be made available to us in trade. Hunt got cut because he was going to be a problem for his team, those guys just aren't often available.

But Hunt was a midround pick that was a good fit for his offense and contributed heavily immediately. Pace and Nagy (the latter of whom was there when they scouted and drafted Hunt) are doing the process to find their guy. I heard that they are running receiver drills during the private workouts, so they are certainly looking for a "move player" that will/would be an early return kind of guy.

I'm hoping for Sanders or Henderson. No friggin way we have a chance at Jacobs (but if Pace pulls it off I'ma do backflips).

you know that some of us like myself be forgettin that round 1 and round 2 & 3 is separate dates (a lot of things can happen). so hours before we even draft on day 2 we'll probably know by then.
ETA;
I'll probably look ahead and try to research this later.

Absolutely! If anything, I am glad you have a reason to watch some highlights and stuff during the off-season.

And hey, my brain isn't far off from that. I'm at the point where I'm forgetting the day of the week if I didn't go to work. And that forgetfulness is an extra reason for watching more highlights. I gotta remember them so I can properly ***** about our draft while it's topical.

I thought I hated the draft change but you know what? This separate draft dates works for a situation like this. Now we all have to watch day 1 and round 2 closely, when a RB is selected we target that team' roster and check their corps, and if any questionable moves happens bet your bottom dollar Pace and Nagy will be all over that idea.

Jacobs doesn't seem at all special to me and is not worth trying to move up for. He seems like an overall athlete that was slotted at RB. He undoubtedly benefited from playing behind 5 star OL and from Tua spreading out the opposing defenses. I'll pass. Plus, I can't remember a RB of recent that was from Alabama that wasn't overdrafted and/or better than mediocre.

I personally like Sanders. Also, while I think Henderson's stats are a bit inflated from playing in Memphis offense, he is very talented and explosive. I could see Pace having him on his draft board, but doubt he would trade too far up for him.

While I am usually a supporter of moving up and getting a perfect fit type player, I prefer we sit tight this year. Or at least not trade away any future picks in the top 3 rounds. We have a talented team and right now there doesn't seem to be very many glaring holes. Pace can find a RB, decent depth and diamonds in the rough from where we are. If we get too cute and keep mortgaging our future, it will eventually cost us. Most likely in the form of missing out on an opportunity to draft a key player at a position of high need.
