Official NFL Draft Thread - Bear Fans Only - and No Montucky!

It could be. I thought about it for sure and it’s pretty fair to say it’s what he meant. But, I can’t find the logic that the Bears can’t do it, but some other teams can do it. I can’t imagine what teams those are.

I ultimately wondered what year would it be ok for this team in his eyes? I don’t think he’d have a good answer to that… it tough to sell ever trying to move up to the top 10 for a RB.

Let's be real, Greggggggg rarely has a good answer to anything.

Yea, but then the Bears could trade up too for pretty minimal value (like the Jalen Carter trade). I’m not saying they would, but hard to say another team would trade up, but no way the Bears would. You’d have to at least be somewhat open to the idea that they might, especially if Ben absolutely loves the guy, which he might.

Yeah that is possible. Say Jeanty falls to 9. New Orleans can leverage the Bears and Cowboys in a trade, fall only to 10 or12 and still get their guy whoever it may be.

I'm more worried about the Jets taking Membou than what happens to Jeanty.

Membou to Jets sadly seems like a perfect fit.

I think Jeanty is there at 10.

 

[Xplosive]

Just to be clear, based on what you’ve said in this thread, if Stewart is a consistent 10+ sack producer it’s still a bad pick?

If that happens no one will complain and it won't be a bad pick. Taking a reckless gamble on just athleticism like that is poor decision making.

A guy can bet his mortgage at the racetrack and win. Horrible decision making even if it pays off.

Pearce is going to be picked in the first round......................I just don't know where the hell that might be.

Should be top ten

Seems like it's either Membou or Warren for the Jets.

Saw a mock trade for Breece Hall.

Bears get - B.Hall and a 4th round pick.

Jets get - our 3rd round pick.

Would you do it?

Breece will be looking for big new deal. Don't know what that would look like but it'll be a lot.

Edit: by the way, i don't think the Jets would do this deal but that was what i saw so here it is.

I love Breece Hall but I’m drafting one from this deep group and not making that trade.

Breece hasnt really performed well enough to warrant a big deal - He's "declined" every year

He prob gets 5-6m a year on the open market, similar to najee

Unfortunately there’s no way I really see either OT make it to 10.

Your entire premise is that if a GM takes a guy HE likes but YOU don’t, it’s a risk.

Even if the GM is proven right and the guy is great, it’s reckless. ?

Somewhat arrogant, no?

Scared money don't make money.

Make sure you get who you want to Poles so that we know it won't be a reckless gamble.

Hmmmm… my initial gut feel is “no”. I think there is good value at RB with the picks already in hand. I’m sort of hesitant to deal with the contract part too. On draft day, when I see what’s there in the 3rd, I’d revisit. But today, not knowing, I’ll pass.

Also why trade for a guy that wants a new contract when you can get a rookie on a cheap deal?

He tore his acl in like the middle of the 2022 season and has pretty much struggled to get back to his old self since then. Too bad because he was one of the best all around RB's in football before that. He has had some games where he looked like he was going to get back to that player but still has had setbacks and i'm sure it hasn't helped being on those Jets offenses.

Terrible analogy. Someone being their mortgage to the #10 pick has zero correlation

It's terrible. I hate it!

Breece hall had nearly 1600 all purpose yards in 2023 with terrible qb and ol play. He was really good. Having said that, I wouldn't make that previous trade you mentioned

I mean... I guess you're right it is arrogant. Although I didn't say it was a risk simply because I didn't like him.

This isn't exactly rocket science and I've seen enough GMs come and go who believed they were the smartest in the room and wasted picks on their hunches despite it being obvious to most that it's a dumb choice.

If Shemar Stewart turns into Myles Garrett no one will care, but the odds of that are extremely high.
