Oh no it isn’t barren next year. North Carolina has this great young prospect. You interested?

Everyone keeps saying this (and the guy quoted in the Athletic article said it), but I don't really agree. I mean, there's nobody in 2022 as good Lawrence, Fields or Lance; maybe not Jones either ultimately, but there's plenty of guys with more tools than Jones. And I think Mond is QB6, and there's about 8-9 guys I'd rate above him as prospects in next year's class. Granted, at this point, much of it is projection with these guys because they are mostly raw talents. But I could see a few guys stepping up, after all Joe Burrow and Zach Wilson just jumped for Day 3 picks to top 2 overall in 1 season.

Me too. I think he's a weird combo of really experienced BUT still has upside. He's improved every year. Very athletic but didn't use it as much. Think Nagy would have a field day with him.

Yes they will be more shit because trading the farm means three years with almost no hope of getting that QB. You're giving three years up for a guy that has at best a 50% chance of success and got passed by 3 QB needy teams. Fuck that.
You want to trade up a bit for a guy that falls.... no problem. But this whole "let's trade our next three first round picks AND a second AND a third" shit is absolutely insane.

trade up now, trade up later. whatever. its gon have to be done at some point. yeah, it will always be a gamble, but if there is a guy they like, imo its a gamble you have to take. cause fuck this treading mediocrity bullshit.

Same. It seems like when it comes to the draft/combine, the athleticism of a QB is what people really focus on. The majority of the best QBs in the league aren't freak athlete burners running laps around everyone. They're accurate, smart, read defenses well, and are still all of those things while being pressured.

Its pretty realistic for the Bears to pick in the top five next year if the injuries hit hard and the team implodes. If the Bears were in a stronger division those odds would be way higher.

10,000,000,000% agree. If a team does really badly, they are very likely to have a higher draft position.

It’s also pretty realistic for this team to hit on a couple OL and Dalton is mediocre and the D is mediocre and the record and draft position reflect that mediocrity.

You’re gonna give up three years whenever you miss on a QB, regardless of the trade up.

It is better to miss big than miss small. Look at how the Browns are stuck married to crummy Baker Mayfield, who is only going to keep costing more and more money to be a shitty quarterback.

But this feels like a big exception to the rule, right?

What rule? Only Bears fans think you have to give a guy three years.
