OT: Bears & NFL Talk 98

[Space umpire]

Not sure how to post it here. The draft site must use the numbers system when evaluating trades. Teams made offers i countered what I thought was fair and it would get rejected. Add a late pick and … accepted!
I traded from 1 to 2 to 3 to 5 to 8 to 11 and from 9 to 10 getting a bevy of picks.
Then traded a 2nd, 2 3rds and a 3rd next year to get another pick (25) in rd1.

1/10 Odunze. Wr
1/11 Verse. Ed
1/23 Wiggins. Cb
1/25 Pwrs/Johnson. Oc
2/34 McConkey. Wr
2/36 Nix. Qb
2/37 Sweat. Dt
2/40 Benson. Rb

Added 2025
1st - Washington, New England, LA Chargers.
2nd - New England
So 4 1sts and 3 2nds next year.

While it was fun if you run it a few times you see where they have players going and plan trades accordingly. Made the 9 to 10 Trae because I knew they would take McCarthy letting Odunze fall.
So not exactly realistic.

This doesn't necessarily mean anything (it could be that the player is such a slam dunk pick that he didn't need a top 30 visit), but none of Alt, Verse, Murphy, Newton or Fashanu have visited Halas Hall for a top 30 visit.

That’s a great draft. How is Odunze lasting until 17?

Yeah that was all luck. 0 chance that happens in 2 weeks

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I also wont be surprised to see Robinson go near end of 1st

 

[Romang67]

Regarding Verse: I keep seeing people say that he's a safe pick and would make a really good #2 DE to Sweat's #1. I feel like safe with limited upside isn't the way to go with a top 10 pick.

Verse is more of a trade-down target guy.

Bears Insider Brad Biggs just released his latest mock.

Bears pass on Nabers and Odunze and trade down to 11 for Fautanu.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

What is picks acquired there?

Drafting a G at #11 and passing on Nabers and Odunze would be stupid

Draft trade chart has a late 3rd/4th coming back

None of these trade down scenarios feel worth it. Especially this tribune mock you posted. I agree with BWC - that would be stupid.

 

[ndgt10]

I ran the scenario. What do you guys think?

 

[Pez68]

If one of the top WRs is still available at 9, you don't f***ing trade down for a 3rd or 4th. Terrible trade.

It's great if you're a Cardinals fan

Love Nabors’ talent. However, he needs to explain why he got busted with a gun on Bourbon Street. Poles has a tendency to stay away from players with off the field character issues regardless of talent in the higher rounds. It already bit him once with Chase Claypool.

9. Chicago Bears​

Kiper's pick: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

Dane Brugler's 7-round 2024 NFL mock draft: Predicting all 257 picks

How will this year's NFL Draft play out? Here's one guess at every pick, across all seven rounds.

theathletic.com

Dane Brugler's 7-round mock has the following for the Bears:

1. Caleb Williams, QB, USC
9. Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
75. Chris Braswell, Edge, Alabama
122. Javon Foster, OT, Mizzou

His top ten goes

1. Williams - Bears
2. Daniels - Commies
3. Maye - Patriots
4. McCarthy - Vikings trade up
5. MHJ - Cardinals trade up from Vikings' former spot.. that one is a bit rich for me, the Cardinals trade down and scoop up #23 overall but still get to trade back up to grab MHJ for #35 overall. Like something a Cardinals fan would dream up on the football equivalent of HFBoards
6. Nabers - Giants
7. Alt - Titans
8. Turner - Falcons
9. Odunze - Bears
10. Bowers - Jets
And since they traded down I'll include 11. Latham - Chargers

 

[ndgt10]

Falcons aren't taken Turner at 9.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Falcons aren't taken Turner at 9.

Not sure how you could dismiss it

They solved QB situation and EDGE is major need for them as they barely had pass rush

The Falcons leading pass rushers from last season both were not re-signed Campbell (6.5 sacks) and Dupree (6.5 sacks). Campbell is 37 and Dupree is 31

Ebiketie showed potential (6 sacks) but is not really a marquee talent at this point. Turner matched with Ebiketie would have potential to be a good young EDGE duo

Turner is best EDGE in draft and coming from Alabama the Falcons scouts likely have seen alot of him
