Likely someone moving up for a QB. It'd have to be Mayfield or Jackson, because I see Rosen, Darnold, and Allen gone within the first 5 or 6 picks. Heck Mayfield is really pressing it right now and is getting hype so he might be gone before us as well. Better hope Jackson does well enough to convince a QB desperate team like Arizona to move up possibly.

I think you’re right. Rosen, Darnold, Allen and Mayfield are probably going before the Bears pick. The Browns, Giants, Broncos and Jets all have a huge need at QB.

I would take any and all of those deals.

Ideally Arizona and grab a 2nd round pick and still be around for some of the 1st round talent.

Washington at 13 for a second rounder. I think there's a good chance one of the QB needy teams in front of the Bears grabs a FA, and one or even two of Darnold (less likely), Allen, or Mayfield is there.

I'll take those two first rounders (21-22) from Buffalo.

With those 2 picks i'm looking at one of C.Sutton or C.Kirk, J.Washington that's if Ridley isn't there and then i'm looking at CB and OLB with the other pick. There will be plenty of both sitting there but guys like C.Davis (Auburn CB) or D.Jackson (LSU CB) and at OLB i'm looking at S.Hubbard (Ohio St OLB) or even A.Key depending on how he checks out in his interview.

The Buffalo option, sadly, is pie in the sky. I go with the Arizona offer.

Getting 21 and 22 would be awesome.

21. Arden Key, OLB, LSU
22. Orlando Brown, OT, Oklahoma
39. Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M

If you drop back to BUF's 21 and 22 you likely will be able to pick 2 of Ridley, Sutton, Gallup, Washington and on defense Davenport, Edmunds, D Ward, Landry, Key, J Jackson. Some combination of those players would be around.

I don't think 4 qb's go before us, in fact I'll say it's not going to happen.

Plus you may have Alex Smith and Cousins in play along w/ possibly the kid from Buffalo...I don't think all of these teams are going to jump on 2nd tier qb's in the top 10

But in that case, only KC has their QB. Buffalo and Washington would then need to draft one and most likely need to trade up.

Also, nyg will not be drafting a QB high. Eli going away is just silly talk and they just took a mid rounder last year

Shit if i take the Buffalo trade and go by D.Jeremiah's mock then we still get Josh Jackson and C.Ridley since he has both still there after 21.

I think Mayfield will go before us and Darnold has a significant drop...Hard to believe though, that four QB will be taken in the top 7..gotta believe one of them will be available and teams will panic to get their guy in a trade up. Hope the Bears can capitalize..

As much as trade backs are unpredictable, over-done and usually just wishful thinking on the part of fanbases...with a guy like Pace at the helm you at least know the Bears will be fielding lots of calls and seeing what the Market is. Pace has show himself to consistently trade around and teams know we are open to offers at this point...I think a trade back is more likely than it ever has been, especially with this QB market this year..
