SOJA

I mean that's great and I would be ecstatic with a rookie too. But a rookie is likely going to cost us about as much draft capital and is an unknown whereas lamar is a 26 yr old former MVP

If you're telling me I get Lamar Jackson for two first round picks (regardless of the size of the contract) I'm sprinting to that deal. It makes so much sense for us.

YES dude I have been saying for years that Gettleman was actually a good GM. Did he rub people the wrong way? Yea. Did he make good football decisions? For the most part yes which is more than you can say for a lot of GMs

.....wut

That until we find a franchise QB we will be irrelevant. You would think this is actually a popular opinion but there are actually human beings who don't think going after Bridgewager, Darnold and Baker were bad moves even in hindsight. Matt Rhule set this franchise back YEARS with his terrible management and decision making. Again this should be a popular opinion but it is debated

I'm hoping the Texans fall in love with Levis. That would only help the Panthers

Names that grab my attention Lamar Jackson QB- obvious choice is obvious Jessie Bates FS- we've never had a true FS with his talent. S isn't as valued as it once was in the NFL but someone will pay him bigtime and I don't think it will be use Daron Payne DL- underrated player that could be a starter on a great d-line. think he would make a nice pairing next to brown Bradberry CB- reunion tour boys, should have never let him go tbh Evan Engram TE- loads of potential, played p well this year Bobby Okereke LB- knows Reich, solid player that is on the up and up, kind like Luvu Mike Gesicki TE- not really a fan, I mention him bc I see a lot of love for him but i don't really see it Yannick DE- good stop gap for a one year deal to play opposite Burns Juan Thornill S- again I think we need to address safety this offseason, I think Chinn is better suited at LB Poona Ford DL- need another DT next to Brown I think he's a good player insane that Bozeman is not on this list lol

I mean if the Bears don't trade out of 1 I'd be fine to trade to three. The problem is right now I feel like we need to get into the top 2 to get Young or Stroud anyone else isn't worth trading up for

we need the draft picks to replete talent on our team and it's time you guys started realizing smart teams garner draft picks

I mean I would do that if I were the Bears. That being said Sapp is talking out of his ass here. Could it happen? Of course. Does Warren Sapp have insider info? unlikely

Isn't OP the guy who has "quit" the Panthers in like five different own post threads

I am 100% completely and utterly ok with us doing more than the "bare minimum" to upgrade QB This offseason. Just like we should have still drafted Fields after getting Darnold. You 100% should be ok drafting one at 9 even if you get one in FA or via trade. Only exception is if we trade for Lamar, then we won't a.) have draft picks and b.) won't need a QB

If its true he is available for a third fuging send it. That way you're in a good spot at 9 no matter what. If stroud falls you still fuging draft him at 9. If none of the top guys are there you say ok and take the best edge available.

agreed. Hurts would not have succeeded here. and I'm a Hurts fan. We've just been so god damn awful

tight end is so deep this year and such a pressing need I think a good one will be available in the second

I just really don't want to give up a first rounder for him

I think he will a lot of these GMs will fall in love with him and think they've got the next Josh Allen. Fine by me give me Stroud all day over him

Stroud and Gibbs I'd be in fuging heaven

this made me lmao

According to this: https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp trade value chart. the Bears pick is worth 3000 while pick 9 is worth 1350, number 40 is worth 500 and number 60 is 300. That only gets us to 2150. Would likely take next years first as well. That's if there is no bidding war. If Chicago was smart they would leverage us against Indy and only trade down to 4 and be all but guaranteed either Anderson or Carter I bet Bears fans are absolutely salivating at the possibilities right now but I wouldn't jump the gun if I were them. It's very rare for a team to trade up to #1 overall. Jacksonville tried like crazy to trade out of the 1 spot last year and no one would bite. I think teams in general are getting smarter about not hemorrhaging future picks.

Jalen carter and Will Anderson obviously the ND tight end single handedly destroyed the UNC defense Bama's RB looks like he could be an Alvin Kamara type weapon at the next level

well no fuging poo Marvin Harrison Jr also isn't draftable this year

isn't that what I said ?

fully in to the camp of we need to trade up with the Bears at number two to get either Young or Stroud. fug it go get your QB. Bears will def be ok with a trade down as they have a lot of holes and 8-9 is a good range to get talent

assuming we keep our picks as slated I think we should focus on DE then passcatcher in round 2. Downs would be a great choice if the top tier TEs are off the board. TE is also deep this year, might be able to wait till round 3
