OT: Bears & NFL Talk 94

Make it happen mckaskeys

I think Carolina is likely gonna be bad this season too. Watch that 2024 1st be a top 5 pick too. Great trade.

 

[TLEH]

Carolinas team is actually decent and the NFC south is f***ing terrible. It’ll probably be top 10 again though

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

Carolina has a solid defense and they’re gaining cap space to go along with the crap division they play in.

People saying next years pick will be high need to slow their roll a bit.

 

[ndgt10]

Carolina has an easy schedule next year. They will get 7-9 wins.

 

[clydesdale line]

The Denver Broncos had an elite defense last season. How'd that go for them? (hint.. theyre picking #5 overall) A rookie QB unless he's a unicorn is going to have growing pains. It ain't farfetched to see this with Carolina as well.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Not super thrilled with drop to 9 but overall deal is fine

Moore is now #1 WR which should push Mooney to #2 and Claypool to #3 if he doesn't completely blow

No more excuses for Fields. He either takes major step next season as a passer or Bears draft his replacement

Need to draft a pash rusher or two early in draft and probably bring in another in FA to start and improve D

They do, but football is football. Can easily see them losing 10-12.

Atlanta's got a lot of money to spend, they'll be better, but overall the division should still be lousy.

 

[jaysoneil]

Big DJ fan, but I never saw him as a bonified WR1. Still, for the price, you can't be upset. And to be fair, DJ has always had a subpar QB.

He's 100% a #1. He's had 1100+ yards in 3 of his 5 seasons, and never with a good QB. And he averages 14 yards per reception, so he's the type of guy who is always moving the sticks for you. He's got the elite talent, just needs a QB. Fields should be that guy.

 

[hawksrule]

Wouldn’t shock me if they trade back again to around 12-13. There are a handful of OL, and Chicago could desperately use any one of them, but they all more or less seem interchangeable. Would be nice to drop a few spots and get another 2nd rounder.

Which is why we need ATL to get Lamar.

 

[Space umpire]

Everyone posting who the bears should draft … Let free agency happen 1st. Then fill holes.

 

[StreetHawk]

Carolina has an easy schedule next year. They will get 7-9 wins.

Afc South and nfc North are their scheduled opponents. QBs are Goff, Fields, Cousins, Love, Lawrence, And who knows about the other 3 teams at this point in time. Also get Rams, Dolphins, and Giants. Stafford, Tua and Jones.

Own division is Carr. Atl and TB unknown.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

carolina is going to be garbage, hopefully they go off the board at 1 and take richardson, sell their fanbase that hes prime cam 2.0

 

[HeisenBaez]

Carolina has an easy schedule next year. They will get 7-9 wins.

They will be starting a rookie QB or a bridge QB. They just traded their best offensive weapon and their second best offensive weapon is a free agent. Carolina is not going to be a good team next year. That 2024 1st will most likely be a top 10 pick with an outside chance if being a top 5 pick.

Yeah, it feels like the Bears pick is now around where the draft falls back. Unless you want a CB, which is probably the least position of need on the team. But that also might mean the pick isn't in great demand for another team to trade up for.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Maybe the Bears can make it back to the playoffs before they vacate Chicago. Let's see what they do in the FA market and hopefully, Fields improves. Panther's schedule - Bears better win that home game,

Home	Away
Atlanta Falcons	Atlanta Falcons
New Orleans Saints	New Orleans Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers	Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Green Bay Packers	Chicago Bears
Minnesota Vikings	Detroit Lions
Houston Texans	Jacksonville Jaguars
Indianapolis Colts	Tennessee Titans
Dallas Cowboys	Seattle Seahawks
	Miami Dolphins

Would most likely be for one of the remaining qb’s. Richardson, for example, was a physical freak at the combine.

Accurate lol.

I disagree that there isn’t a ton of talent at several positions available at 9.
Pundits predictions are not teams draft boards. Depending on who they get in free agency (trying to average 3 sites rankings on a cell phone) there will be some mix of 1 interior D lineman and 1 edge. 1 or 2 offensive tackles and then there is also the cornerbacks.
Trading down again is a possibility but if he is calling it shows a position of weakness. If I’m Poles I wait for the 1st 8 picks and see if the phone rings. I’d also probably be willing to move back a lot farther than most of you. He seems committed to a long term rebuild.
If the team with a pick in the mid 20’s calls and really wants to move up that far I can see real value. … (that mid 20’s pick a 2nd and a 1st next year, likely more).

Bears shoulld be able to get a Left Tackle at #9 which would be perfect.

Be amazing if Speed Racer fell to 9 and they got him,

I think the bears believe they have their left tackle

 

[Behn Wilson]

He was durable but mediocre. They need an upgrade and their is talk of moving Jones to RT.

I would add two tackles and move jones to guard, I am not a fan of his. He is Charles leno Mach 2, a low draft choice that plays just well enough to man the position.
