Nelson is the only guy I could not pass up at 8. Well the only guy that may be there at 8. He would protect Trubs for 12 plus years. Pace is all about supporting his prize QB.

Not taking a guard at 8, no way no how. Not when Hernandez can be had later.

My you provide your mock draft for the Bears? Curious what picks you would go for.

Hope he's still there. If the Browns get Foles and take Barkley, not sure how that effects Davenport. Does it help or hurt the odds of us getting him?

Going to be tough. I think we would need 4 QBs to go in the top 7.

4 QBs plus Chubb and Barkley, that leaves Tampa Bay on the clock with Davenport, Nelson, Fitzpatrick, etc.

Just don't see Tampa passing on the best pass rusher available but you never know..

I would probably be ok with whatever they do at #8 other than Nelson (good guards available later and I don't want to use the 8th pick on a guard if there are potential impact players at CB/OLB/WR on the board) or Barkley (unless they can get something substantial for Howard in a trade).

Agree with the OP, it looks like a great year to trade down, if you can.

I agree with this as well.

I just don’t get how you can pass up Laremy Tunsil. Sure-fire perennial Pro Bowler and Hall of Famer.

A little OT .. If Chubb is there at 6 would you trade up for him or just sit back and watch him goto Tampa at #7?

Yes, I would trade up. Sure, we need picks and depth, but we also need difference makers. Chubb is a difference maker. This is hopefully the last time in a long time we have a Top 10 pick, let's make it a difference maker

We dont have the #8 pick in this years draft because we traded down the past couple years.... just saying.

I don’t think there’s anyway Pace would take a RB that high.

I don't get it. I heard all season long how the Bears were just a few WRs away...and now many posters are talking about trading out of the top ten. Traditionally, I'm not in favor of drafting WRs high because of the high bust rate. But c'mon, we are going to have a shot at the first WR taken in the whole draft.
And none of them are worth a top 10 pick.

Not necessarily in that order, but yes.

Wait, are you trying to tempt The Hawk out of the shrubs?

After looking at these prospects I feel the absolute best move is for Pace to get as many picks as possible in rounds 1-3. This would be the perfect time for Pace to be smart and take advantage of the QB market and lack of elite prospects, but multitude of very good prospects at need positions. I would love to see a trade down with Miami at #11 and then ANOTHER trade down with Arizona or Buffalo.

The only definite guy I see as must take at #8 instead of moving down, is Bradley Chubb with Saquon Barkley as a strong 1b.
I agree with you, for the 1st Rd, I wouldn't mind trading down until we see an OLB or Tackle we like matching the value. At the moment I like trading down and grabbing Arden Key or McGinty.

Do we need Saquon Barkley?
