they should have went the Thomas Davis route and bulked Chinn 10-15 pounds and convert him full time into a OLB, but obviously Chinn wouldn't work in Evero's 3-4

Could not agree more, he has the frame to add LB bulk. His biggest strength is playing near the LOS, great pursuit and closing speed. Man, it pains me that we let him go entering his prime, he signed a 1 year 4 mill contract. Ian Thomas, Shy Tuttle, Ashawn Robinson, Miles Sanders,  Josh Yijiam, etc so many over paid players and we don’t pay young talent.

He ain't singing another 1 year $4M deal. He needed to get out of here to show what he could do and he has. Now clue about the Commander's cap situation but they should lock him up.

Man watching this Thursday night game seeing Luvu and Chinn making plays constantly hurts. Honestly I have zero idea why we let both of them walk.

Luvu was smart to take the largest contract he could.

Chinn regressed year over year.

Chinn’s current stats are in line with his stats with Panthers before Evero arrived, and yes he regressed from his rookie year where he looked like a game changer. He is not putting up drastically different numbers now he just looks better on a winning team. We were all disappointed with his development even prior to Evero but he was definitely a misfit in the 3-4 defense.

Panthers coaches over the years have been notorious for their “square peg, round hole” approach to player development.  Chinn could’ve been really good in LB/S hybrid role here but we blew it. Both deserve the success they’re having in DC.

Because Chinn Is not a God Damn Free Safety! He is a Strong Safety/LB and none of our coaches could figure that out.

This ^ 💯 I never understood the dumbassery of playing him @ FS with his noted struggles in coverage. Why we stopped using him in the LB/S role he had under Snow is anyone’s guess.

The recipe over the last 5 years:

1. draft a guy with high athletic ability at a position of need. 

2. play him out of his natural position because you have a big hole to fill.

3. watch him struggle. 

4. let a young and promising talent grow depressed and apathetic because a God forsaken franchise is ruining what he has busted his ass his entire life to achieve. 

The only reason Luke moved to the middle was because Beason got hurt. Think about that.

It’s complete arrogance of the coaching staff to tell a player where he’s better suited… or the mark of a desperate team who drafts out of need. 
 

This is what happens to teams that draft poorly and have no depth. Constantly working from behind and drafting for need.

I was stating what he signed this offseason not what he is worth going forward?

Evero isn't nearly as good as some around here think. Playing Chinn at FS was a giant red flag. Dude took over a good D and it regressed while here he hasn't built anything for the next guy worth trying to prop up or anything much to blow up either. He is a jag coach and little more.

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

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      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

      How is this supposed to work on college? How are you supposed to recruit with a one year interim coach?

      You must have researched him to know this--I said I would research him.  And there are trades, etc. during the draft--you really need to know the full board.
