Would you trade Chicago's no. 1 pick for Burns?

Interesting proposition

Burns plus 9 for the top pick and take Stroud. Sign Ngakoue as a Burns fill in until we find out next pass rusher. I would do this in a second. It will probably take more though…

Would rather trade picks if it includes #9…now Burns and a second maybe some later picks ok

Straight up? Absolutely and laugh my head off about fleecing the bears.

Burns and #9? Yeah, but I wouldn't be as happy about it.

Burns and say a second and third or two seconds? Yes, and how happy I would be would depend on the picks involved.

Man I wish would have taken the Rams offer. The Bears won't do this deal.

[rebelrouser]

The article meant swapping Burns and our 9. That would give us our pick of qb's and some cap room too i would imagine.

[Varking]

I keep saying this but we need to cheer for the Bears to win free agency on defense. 
 

The Bears have almost 100m in cap space. They had the fewest sacks in the NFL but they love their young secondary. 
 

if they can sign Daron Payne, and another DT like Hargraves from the Eagles I think they’d be willing to swap 1 for 9 and Brian Burns. They’d also have to pay Burns. 
 

This would make the Bears significantly better on defense, still have 30m or so cap leftover, Burns would look better in Chicago lined up next to two guys who each crossed 10 sacks this year and the Bears could switch their eyes to helping Fields on offense in round 1 with a lineman or WR. 
 

Then at 1 we are guaranteed to get our guy which would hopefully be Stroud. We can use the money we saved by not giving Burns a monster contract and give it to a guy like Yannick who is the same player for less money. 

[panthersken]

No way. The only guy id take would be his replacement. This is why Will Anderson is the only option at number 1

Straight up? Yes. Then use #9 to draft the best edge rusher on the board.

[LinvilleGorge]

Yes. Period.

It'd probably be more like Burns plus #9 and probably a 2nd.

If they decide they prefer one of the other QBs, they are the one in the tough position...not the trading team. I'd try to offer them our two second round picks and maybe a third for next year. If we weren't going to trade Burns for what LA was offering, then we shouldn't do it now for one player.

Two 2nds and a 3rd for #1 overall? The owner would veto that and fire their GM on the spot.

No, two 2nds and a 3rd for Fields.

Sure
