How many draft picks will it take to replace the top tackler in the NFL and the top pressure DE on the team in 2022 and one of the top sack artists in 2021?

These trades do not happen in a vacuum ... or on Madden. People need to consider the ramifications of the trades.

Let's take Smith as an example because he is still quite young.

Chances are high that the Bears will not be able to replace Smith's production with a 2nd and 5th round pick even if both of those picks were linebackers.

What will probably happen is that the Bears will pay 2023-type-Roquan-Smith-compensation for some free agent LBer who is a shadow of Roquan's performance.

I guess the Bears can bring in a ton of offensive players with all of their wealth of draft picks in the early rounds and hope to find their defensive "Braxton Jones" in the later rounds.
They don't need Roquan's production replaced if they get a great 3tech and decent Nose. If this tank works out, they'll have that, and then some.

you act like he's a week-to-week super star. He is not and never has been. He is a very good linebacker yes, but he rarely takes games over.
And he will probably be replaced by some overpaid week-to-week good player.

Well, whatever.

I get to have hope for 2 more draft picks during draft weekend.

Cmon this is fucking horrible. Smith is 25 never hurt, all pro. We can’t even get one fucking 1st? Panthers can get 4 picks for mcaffrey who will be hurt in 4 games.

Devante got a 1st and a 2nd. It was already explained. WR is a much more coveted position than LB

That "great" LB did nothing to stop 40 being hung on the defense yesterday

If Roquan were to hit the FA market he would be one of the top 5 free agents. We have plenty of money to spend the next few seasons, not plenty of great defensive leaders. We aren't going to be able to easily fill the hole. Say we use the 2nd rd pick to draft a LB that maybe could fill the gap Roquan is leaving...we will have to pay him along with every other draft pick in 4 years.

The point Im trying to get at is that it is OK to overpay a guy like Roquan while Justin is on his rookie deal. Pay him upfront the next two years when there is plenty of cap space. You have a good young player and there is no need to trade him in hopes you can maybe find another like him.

If we are getting rud if him I want a deal that incorporates two high draft picks. (1st through 3rd rd). It's not like the Ravens are picking at the bottom of the draft. That way we have two solid shots to find a player as good as Roquan, regardless of position.
Roquan is roughly a top 10 off ball LB who wants to be the highest paid off ball LB. It is never ok to overpay that much, especially for that position.

Yep. And he's NEVER made a Pro Bowl as far as I know.

I'm just confirming that people were saying at least a 2nd for Quan was the price. Before the season even started.
Yeah my bad, it did sound like i was coming at you but didn't mean it that way.

The Bears are not wasting 20mil a year on a LBer

Brisker has 2 more sacks than Robert Quinn. 5 other players have more sacks than Robert Quinn.

McCaffrey is under contract until 2025. Carolina already ate his bonuses.

Smith has to get paid in full with a brand new deal. That's the difference.
