Was just joking about how pointless the learning to win thing is when most of the team isn’t even here yet

He’s making a point I’ve been making. It is a very QB top heavy draft. After Levis, Young, and Richardson, there’s Stroud and the mystery man Bagent. From there, it’s a wasteland until the 3rd quarter. Maybe Hooker and Rattler, MAYBE, find a way into the late second.
It is possible, should we get the first, we trade back twice. Once with Detroit or Seattle and then LV, picking up a nice number of 2nd round picks, a pick in the teens, and still getting a top 10 pick.
The goal should be 4-5 picks in the top 50, maybe 6-8 in the top 75. It is a doable goal. If we lose out on Anderson, I’m okay with Verse or Ojulari. If we lose out on Carter, I’m okay with Young or Kancey.
Apart from QB, there might not even be a legitimate top ten in this draft, definitely no OT worth a top ten pick. There is a ton of good talent that would garner a late day 1 to day 2 grade well into the 4th. Maxing hits is the key.

Bagent isn't in the conversation

That's not my experience on Twitter, for example, where some non-Bears fans get it but many don't look further than the W/L record and believe Mac Jones > Fields.

At various times I think they are trying to tank. But yeah, 2nd and 10 IDK if I'd ever run.

I thought he was in supermax doing twenty years to life for that savage hit he delivered his rookie season.

Passing on 2nd and 10 with this OL and WRs is dumber than running the ball.

It's one of those that seems brilliant when it works but questioned when a fail.

Was just thinking about this the other day. It's a pretty good indicator that Getsy knows what he's doing - his scripted plays work really well.

Pace made the offer and Pete Carroll killed the trade. I’ll be polite but this has been discussed on this forum and by NFL pundits many times.

I agree. I'm not sure of the timing of the draft and the signing of free agents. What I would hope is that they do a lot of their free agency moves first and supplement them with the draft rather than the other way around since the talent pool is more of a crap shoot with the draft.

Free agency starts before the draft. So yes, that should be the plan. Especially with the lineman, I could see where their draft plans and their willingness to trade back will be heavily influenced by who they can sign in free agency.
