If it's a long term knee they either need a new QB or we're definitely not picking first next year

I’ve seen people mention Tannehill but I’d just ride it out with Willis. If he looks good you can trade him, if he doesn’t GB will actually have a high pick for the first time in a while. Hopefully it’s nothing serious and this is all for nothing.

This Brazil game was so dumb. So after the injury they had a 2 hour bus ride back to their hotel and then a 9 hour flight home before they could even do an MRI. Isn't it a bad idea to fly right after an injury like that?

My guess is they had enough resources to confirm it wasn’t serious enough to limit air travel but not to do the full scope

It is not exactly the best thing to do, no.

Willis is terrible.  Absolutely terrible.  

They're better off with pretty much any other QB.  

If it's a 4-6 weeker (best case scenario), they absolutely grab someone else.  If it's a season ender, they still should.  He has no awareness to even use his speed effectively, no feel for the QB position.  If they even get to one game with him, I think it will be so bad they will have to change for the betterment of the locker room.

International games are money bringers but I personally hate them.  Can't believe the goal is for every team to have 1 international game per year.  I get it, but the forced global reach is straining.  

I think it would be much cooler if they focused on enriching the existing fanbases--- have 1 game as a "home away from home" game.  I.E. - Falcons in Athens, Packers at Camp Randall, Panthers at Kidd Brewer, etc.

If it’s not season ending then yeah that changes things. I mean they traded for Willis (yeah a 7th rounder) and immediately put him over last year’s backup. I was reading Willis looked better in TC this year. My point is if Love is out for the year there is not need to trade or sign some vet that keeps them around 500. Roll with Willis and either he looks good which would turn him into trade bait or he will suck and they get a game changer in the draft. I’m all for boom or bust vs treading water.

      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
