Stoped at trade Monty
Stoped at trade Monty
I mean I get it, I just personally would swap a few draft guys I like more and not pick up armstead. It’s not bad but I like to keep my own mocks simple I personally would probably pick up Jordan Davis especially after that combine I don’t care about what people say about his snap counts the defense shouldn’t be needing to be on the field that long with him in the middle. The guy just absolutely man handles OLinemen everyone he goes up against thinks they’re holding him but he is always reading the backfield and playing his assignments. Wyatt is my 2nd choice.Feel free to swap out with your left tackle of choice then but the reason you can take a chance on Armstead is because you have Jenkins, Borom, Simmons and Jones that can all play LT or RT. So if he can give you 10-14 games of elite LT play, I will take it. Of course, if I don't tear it down and don't trade Mack, Quinn and cut Whitehair then I would not take a chance on Armstead so he only works if you are stripping it down IMO and freeing up all that extra cash and getting those extra draft picks.

Ugh. Losing Monty. I get it.. paying RBs is not good for business. But I feel like we still havent gotten to enjoy what he is capable of. Without Special person play calling and OLine issues. Wish we had more time with him, love his toughness.
I think Kirk would be a great signing but think he'll get more than $9 mil per. He really upped his game this year playing mostly out of the slot.1. I get trading Mack or Quinn for draft picks but not both.
2. I get trading Montgomery but not this season. Fix the offensive line and then move him.
3. Christian Kirk would be an underwhelming signing after clearing all that cap space.
4. Tight ends take too long to develop. Pass on Chigoziem Okonkwo. I’ll keep preaching it into existence, the Bears should sign Gerald Everett.
5. Amare Barno won’t last until pick #232
6. Love the Josh Williams pick. I view him as a FS though.
7. Its a weak defensive line draft and you have the Bears using a lot of draft capital on a weak class.
I would trade Monty before I trade Mack or Quinn to be quite honest. He simply should not be resigned and 1 year of Monty really means nothing to the future of this team. I really hope don't want Poles signing him long term as RBs are simply not worth it unless they are elite. Monty is not elite.
FWIW I don’t dislike Kirk as a player, I just don’t think he is worth the $ for what he brings.I think Kirk would be a great signing but think he'll get more than $9 mil per. He really upped his game this year playing mostly out of the slot.
1. Makes sense. Don’t think it’s likely but I understand your rational.1. Again if I am doing a full rebuild then neither is part of the long term future and I am not trying to compete in 2022 so not point in keeping either.
2. Monty is a free agent next season so this is the last year he can be traded.
3. That cap space was cleared mainly for Armstead. Kirk is a reasonable signing so I am don't have to reach for a WR but the long term future at WR is getting both Watson and Pierce to go along with Mooney.
4. Kmet is the starting TE. All we need Oko for is to stretch the field and provide YAC in two tight end sets. I also think we should give Horstead a chance in that role. Also we don't need anything from Oko next year because again not trying to compete.
5. Maybe not, he was listed as undrafted prior to the combine but may now get drafted earlier due to his performance but he is definitely a guy that looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane right now.
6. Sure you can try him at CB and move him to S if it doesn't work out.
7. At the time I picked those guys were BPA.
1. Makes sense. Don’t think it’s likely but I understand your rational.
2. Ok didn’t realize his contract was coming due already. I definitely don’t want to pay him an extension (don’t think RBs are ever worth it) Is his return much different then what the Bears would get as a compensatory pick?
3. That’s fair. Personally, don’t think Kirk will be worth the contract he gets. Chark would be a better target.
4. Wholeheartedly disagree. Kmet was green when drafted and I don’t think he’s ready for that type of role. He’s a #2 TE that might develop into a #1 a few years from now. Everett can make plays in the passsing game and in the slot right away.
5. Possible.
6. 100%. I like him in the slot against bigger receivers and FS.
I should have been more clear, I don’t think Montgomery nets a third round pick. What trade are you basing that kind of value on? I could see a conditional 4th at best. (Jay Ajayi - 2017)Comp picks can't get any higher than 3rd round so I am trading Monty for a 3rd rounder in 2022 rather than wait for a potential 3rd rounder in 2024 since Monty would not sign a new deal until FA 2023 and thus would not factor into the comp pick formula until the following year's draft in 2024.
Chark has never played a full season and only played 4 games last year. I am already taking an injury risk on with Armstead so would prefer not to double down with Chark.
Kmet is going into his 3rd year so he needs to sink or swim. Further not sure I get the love affair for Everett who has never had more than 500 receiving yards. Kmet had 612 yards last year compared to 478 for Everett. Kmett caught 12 more balls so if you give Everett 12 more receptions at his 10 YPR then he would have had 598 yards which is still less than Kmet. So I would much rather take a chance on a rookie that gets paid less with 4.4, 4.5 speed with the hope he becomes a major factor in 2023.
I guess they expected an 'I failed' mock. I have yet to see one of those. It's obviously a convo starter exercise.Perhaps read what I said.
I am not saying the Bears should do a full rebuild or that they 100% could make the trades below for the picks I suggest but just thought I would see how this team could be constructed if I did strip it all down.
The premise is they wish to strip it all down and rebuild. Has nothing to do with whether I think it is realistic or not, it was simply exploring the scenario of a complete rebuild.
