He was pretty good against Detroit last year, hell, turn those two ints(first game mistakes) into TDs, would Darnold even be on this team right now? 

Yes if he could covert INTs into TDs he would be a lot better and if Winston could, he would be the GOAT.

Howell isn't that good, look at Trubisky, granted Howell's been more impressive in college, but Howell's in a system that's very QB friendly

The only similarity is the college team they play(ed) for. The entire staff and schemes have changed over since Trubisky played.

I became a true believer in Howell during the bowl game this year. He went up against the best defense in the SEC who had no bowl game opt outs and were looking to prove they had been snubbed from the playoffs, meanwhile his #1 WR and both 1000 yard RBs opted out. He still looked like Sam Howell despite multiple bad drops and predictably virtually no running game what so ever.

Based off your logic of having 2 #3 QBs, wouldn't that also mean we have 1 #2QBs and 0 #1QB.

Food for thought...Mitch Trubisky is a former first round pick, currently on a team that didn't draft him charted at #2.

So we have a legit #2 in Darnold.

And Darnold was no better if not worse than Mitch.

 

I thought about mentioning the point that our #1 may be a #2.  That remains to be seen.  But, compared to our two #3's, at least he was thought to be a budding #1 three years ago, if not more recently.  Our staff still thinks he could be.

The truth is, where these guys were drafted does not matter in the equation.  Being drafted #1 didn't help Jamarcus Russell, and people pretty quickly forgot Brady was a 6th round draft choice (other than the media bringing it up) and Montana was drafted near the end of the 3rd round.  Being a high draft choice in the NFL after about 2 or 3 years is about like having a high GPA from a big-name academic school 8 years ago: it is a great conversation piece, but your body of work since is what matters.

If Darnold does not live up to the staff's expectations, we could have a new #1, a our #2 and #3 may be on the current roster.  The more likely scenario is we would have a new #1, #2, and #3 if that is what shakes out.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
