For essentially a first round pick. Its one of the worst trades in Bears history, honestly I can't think of one worse in my time. Its blends everything together, from the atrocious scouting of Chase Claypool, to the weird need to swoop the Packers for him (wow I'm sure they're real upset about it lmao) to the complete inability of the Bears front office to self scout enough to realize how dreadful the Bears were and how that pick would be.People are out here acting like the Bears traded for Tee Higgins. 50% hit rate on a player who could end up being a foundational piece, 4 years under contract and more draft flexibility > a 100% proven mediocre player for 1.5 years, who in one season manage to be a distraction for two different teams and has production regression. The dude had trouble getting on the field a month after being traded to a team with no legitimate weapons.
This shit honestly isn't close at all.
That's what makes it worse than the Mitchell Trubisky trade. That and the fact that at least Trubisky was an unknown, basically the whole world knew who Chase Claypool was and only the absolutely desperate Packers were in on him.
