So, how far are you willing to trade down? Do you want to stay where our pick is and take Anderson or Carter or something? Stay top ten? Trade down, twice, but pick inside the top XX? How low are you willing to go?

If we're #1 or #2 I think we can trade down 2-4 picks and still get Anderson or Carter.

OR, we can trade again and let those guys go, and get more picks.

Personally, I really want to get ONE of Anderson or Carter, so if we can trade from #1/#2 to say, #4 and still get one of them? I love it. Then take an elite WR with the extra pick.

Thoughts?
I agree, no lower than 5 but prefer no lower than 2-4. Depends on how high they rate other DT or Edge. yes get JSN with the extra pick/picks.

Miami traded the #3 to the Dolphins for #12, two additions firsts and a third the following year.

Bears at #1 or 2, id be disappointed if they didn't come away with a similar return.

Currently, after the god awful trade Poles completed for Claypool, they need quantity over quality. Trade down as far as possible in the 1st to finish the night with multi 1sts and 2nds.

They are rebuilding but only have 1 pick in the top 50. Ewww!

It would be nice to be able to trade down and still stay in the top 10.

The ideal situation is for the Bears to get the number 1 pick. Then make it known they are open to trading it and create a bidding war with the other teams in the top 5. Either with Houston so they can ensure they get their guy or someone wanting to leapfrog Houston. Then you hope someone else falls in love with the 2nd/3rd QB and they are able to trade back again still within the top 10. Bringing in a haul of extra picks and still picking top 10 would be amazing.

One can dream anyways.
Best case scenario for sure.

You dont have to move on from Braxton. There is no reason a team cant put an LT prospect at RT, given that many of the best pass rushers in the league line up over RT.
Good point. Plus Jones paired with Jenkins on the right side would be a great run block combo.

There's some really good D-line prospects right behind Carter and Anderson. Trade down to the late teens and pick up one of them, while picking up an extra first and more? Cha-ching.

I'm confused you said "Miami traded the # 3 to the Dolphins for the #12", that's the same team, typo I know but what did you mean?

This is dumb. Bears don't need a bunch of 3rd and 4th round picks. The roster is completely void of high end talent due to Pace basically missing on all first round picks. They need quality 1st and 2nds and in that case, less would be more.

Not neccessarily. If we have the #1 or #2 and trade out, and QBs go #1 and #2, what if Carter went at #3? Or Levis? It could happen. I like Tyree, too. And Skor...can't you get him a bit later?
Again, I don’t understand the fascination with Carter. He was hurt and invisible all year. Tremendous 2021–so I get the blue chip status, but I don’t have any idea how he’s a top 5 pick right now.

I think Skoronski goes top 10.

Which leads me to…

As far as Tackle prospects, Broderick Jones will be drafted before Skoronski.
Agree to disagree. Jones’ cons are that is a statue with bad hand placement/hand fighting that needs lots of improvement on top of his average-at-best lateral movement per the draft network.

Skoronski is far better technically, hand placement, bend, and lateral movement. People don’t like Skoronski because his arms aren’t prototypically long enough for them so they assume MoVe HiM tO gUaRd because they watch pundits who fill TV time by looking for reasons not to like players in February because it’s dead season for the nfl and it’s time to talk about the draft and endlessly bicker for months. The only other con is they don’t think he’s violent enough in finishing/he just seals his guy off—which makes zero sense to me but scouts are going to scout.

But then I forget a lot of NFL scouting departments are twisted, regressive, and backwards in their archaic thinking so short arms probably turn off plenty of them. So there’s a fantastic chance you are right and I’m wrong.

Did you watch the nfl prior to 2022?

Like others have said, it depends on the compensation. I would trade all the way out of the 1st if we got like 3 additional 1st round picks or something crazy.
