Thoughts on trading DJ Moore?

DJ is one of the most consistently good but not great WR’s in the NFL.

But one thing I do not like about DJ is his seemingly casual attitude and lack of killer instinct. He just doesn’t finish plays and get in the end zone, as evidenced by his low TD counts every season of his career. 

This franchise needs an attitude adjustment, and trading away DJ could put the rest of the players on notice. It’s not about stats, it’s about winning. He might even net a 1st round pick.

Cam made a comment about DJ in his intro press conference when he came back to the team about DJ and how he doesn’t really “get it” (when talking about winning). I never really thought Cam and DJ were on the same page attitude wise. Cam is a winner and a leader. DJ just seems like he's willing to be good enough.

I wouldn’t be against trading him if he got us a 1st rounder or collection of picks. There’s enough talent on offense and enough veteran FAs to replace him of equal caliber. 

Terrace Marshall needs to step up. Robbie got a big pay day, make him earn it. Re-sign Zylstra. Make CMC take more snaps at WR. Sign a vet FA.

I love DJ but if it could get us a first round pick, I take it. We need O line, and QB help more than anything. In the same  breath, he is super young, talented, and can be a building block for the future of the franchise who we can afford once Robby gets cut after this upcoming season. I may have just talked myself out of what I said originally….

Ideal scenario: 

Trade DJ Moore, Sam Darnold, and a 2022 5th round pick to a team (Broncos?) without a QB for a 2022 2nd or 3rd.

They get: one year rental at QB and a top 15-25ish WR to build around, plus a 5th round draft pick

We get: $29 million in cap space for 2022 and the 2nd or 3rd round pick we gave up.

We can use the cap to replace DJ (Smith-Schuster & C. Patterson?) and bring in some linemen. Sign Trubisky for cheap and look for a QB in 2023.

    • 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
