I mean, you literally gave the worst case scenario and called a 6'4" WR the same as Darnell Mooney.
And everyone seems to be ignoring that Anderson is much more a 3-4 edge than a true DE, his skills may transcend position, but he isn't exactly what they covet in an ideal 4-3 end. I would not be shocked if the Bears took another player even if he is on the board at 4/5 and the Bears have traded down.
Because if your goal is to just make win-later decisions in a league where almost everyone else is fighting for their jobs to win as many games as possible then it is an almost Herculean feat of badness to straight give away thirty-second overall for a guy who we're not even sure is rosterable at this point. He couldn't even tank right, he gave up his second highest pick for ***nothing***.
Sure, its possible Tee Higgins gets even better without JaMarr Chase soaking up attention and the second best quarterback in the league throwing him the ball...but probably isn't likely. The Bears have got a serviceable number two receiver already, they shouldn't be gambling with a first round pick that a guy is going to transform from a very good number two to a very good number one.Tee Higgins might be Darnell Mooney?
I'm taking Aidan Hutchinson over Kayvon Thibodeaux and I don't think that's very controversial.
I mean, you're just a moron. As WR's go, he is 19th in the league in yardage and 25th in receptions. Chase has 13 more receptions and 17 more yards on the season. They are both #1 WR's.
It's pretty much universally accepted that Bengals have TWO #1 wr. Chase is the better all around WR but Higgins has literally IR'd at least 3 DBs this season.
Ja'Marr Chase is unquestionably the number one on that team. Sure, it could prove that Tee Higgins a number one is too but you're not going to know that until he has to fill that role. Its a big risk, and you're essentially burning first overall for the right to pay however many tens of millions of dollars a year it will cost to take that risk.
Very dumb. Good work again
Not sure if you are aware but tee Higgins played without chase as a rookie and also without burrow about half that year and still had good production. Before you make a stupid statement, he was outproducing his 2 years with chase before burrow got hurt.
But again, if the point was to tank, then you’ve come to a false conclusion.
Yes basically burning the #1, I mean, besides getting the #5, a proven top 20 WR, and another premium pick. That would be awful.
Don't bring facts and context into this.
He's about 243lbs. Khalil Mack was 251 at the combine. Robert Quinn is listed at 245. Haasan Reddick is about 235 and had like 17 sacks this year. If Anderson is good, he can play in any scheme. Also, if he can play the edge at Bama (they played a 3-4, but his hand was in the dirt a ton in nickel), he can play 4-3 DE in Chicago.
And Darnell Mooney season before last had eighty-plus catches for over a thousand yards with Andy Dalton, Nick Foles and Justin Fields throwing him the ball. He's on the team now! You can sign him for less than Tee Higgins and it won't cost you twentieth overall to do so. It seems like a colossal no-brianer, but apparently we are doing this thing where we overvalue other team's second-best players and then get mad when they come to Wide Receiver Hell and suck like crazy.
