I think this is probably the best deal Pace could get for a guy they would've cut had they not found a trade. Adding another 4th rounder was a great move, and will help add another solid prospect to the team. To tell the truth, I wouldn't hate it if Pace traded down in the first and managed to add another 2nd rounder as well. If the guy he targets isn't there, I think it would be a good move for a team that needs to add as much talent as possible. It's been a great free agency period for us. Add last years offseason to this one, throw in a solid draft and we are off and running in this rebuild, which could turn out to be done a lot quicker than anyone imagined.

I honestly can't remember the last time Mongo was actually right about something.
He said that no one would want to come to Chicago because of Cutler. Yet Cutler was mentioned by 3 of the signees as major reasons they signed. Hicks would rather play with Cutler than Brady. Freeman would rather play with Cutler than Luck.
He said that no one would sign Shea. Yet the smartest team out there ended up signing him with the 2nd smartest team almost signing him.

Middle rounds are great for finding talented TEs as well. We probably will develop a starter who was better than Bennett ever was.

There's no way anyone could see anything in Shea except his high draft spot
He never even flashed any intriguing ability in any position he was tried at

He got a lazy number 2 tight end for 5 million dollars and a fourth round pick. He didn't exactly make out like a bandit.

Come on man, theres not a GM in the history of the game that hits on every move he makes. It's just not possible. Overall Pace has done a pretty good job so far, and we yet to see what we are adding in the draft. He's turned the defense into a lot stronger unit, albeit on paper, in a relatively short time. I think we gotta give Pace a few years to be able to fully evaluate all his moves, but so far last year he did the best with what he could in the free agency/trade market. The draft looks like its a solid one, and White will be healthy this year so we'll get a better idea of how that draft will look this coming season. This free agency he's attacked our weaknesses and it seems to me like he's done a pretty good job. This coming draft will tell even more of the story. But in my opinion, Pace has done a pretty good job, made some mistakes, but like I said, no GM is absolutely perfect.

So you don't think he could have gotten more last year?

Not saying any GM could. but I'm saying he screwed the pooch on the Bennett issue.
The person I was responding to started listing all his hits to defend this bad GM move. So I started listing some of his misses.

I'd love to see it, This is a big offseason for Pace and our Bears, and thusfar he's done a pretty good job. On paper that is, we will see when the games begin, but it seems to me like a very solid offseason. Now go add some great young talent in the draft, and set us up to get back to the playoffs.

I wonder what the Patriots could have gotten for Hernandez back in 2011. What idiots. Can't even spot a murderer in your own locker room!

You're a fucking Dumbass. :yep: Hands of stone and zero speed and he catches 90 passes in a season.
Pace and Fox want to trade him away, fine I'm not crying that he's gone. I'm sure Belichick traded for a player that has stone hands and zero speed.

I wasn't bashing what you was saying, I get why you was going there. I've been watching things around here a lot lately, and I'm not trying to pick at you, but it does seem to me like you're a bit hard on Pace. The guy inherited a mess, and I really think he's done a good job considering. I don't know about screwing the pooch on this Bennett deal. Don't get me wrong, I loved Bennett and when he was happy and motivated he played extremely well for us. But it seems like he just had kinda went into a funk when he didn't get his contract redone, and he seemed to become more of a distraction to the team than a help. I think he wrote his own ticket out and Pace was just trying to get the best deal he could. I mean Bennett and a 6th for a 4th to me is a pretty good deal considering had we not found a trade to make with him, we likely would've cut him and received nothing. So I'm glad we was able to at least move up from that 6th rounder two rounds into the 4th, a lot better than nothing I think.

The real deal was they had to sign Shea for 3 years, and in turn he will finally burn the Virginia nudes
