Bismack Billabongo posted:After a brief viewing of this thread I would prefer the titans get the northwestern tackle at 11 if possible, and would like to see them take either an edge rusher or wr in round two. My favorite beat guy mentioned the guy from SMU and I’m definitely interested in him and Hutchinson from Iowa state after a very cursory reading. Any good write ups on either of those dudes? I’m also interested in the SMU wr. The reports I’ve read says he’s big, fast (4.3s), and has great hands. So I’m not sure why he’s considered a round 2 talent.

I don't think Bryce Young is a better prospect than Fields. I don't think they're going to go that route unless a team offers more capital for Fields than for the chance to take Young or Stroud

Poles would be stupid to say anything otherwise. He's absolutely gonna trade down, but there is no harm in trying to get the QB starved teams to believe the Bears might take their guy.

It would be hilarious if the Bears finally got a legit QB and then traded him away to "reset the rookie timer" only for Fields to succeed and the new QB to Bears it up. I think that's way too cruel for Bears fans so I hope it doesn't happen.

They shouldn't trade Fields. They should wait for the Panthers and Colts to drive up the price of the #1 pick.
|
# ? Jan 10, 2023 18:06 |
Looking at the draft value chart, the first pick is worth 1000 and the #4 overall is 491. Colts likely would need to throw in this year's second and next year's first to start sniffing fair value on a #1-for-#4 swap.

Picking up an extra first and second while still grabbing Anderson or Carter would be quite nice.

Honestly I don't think Ballard has it in him to move up to #1. I think he'll sit at 4 and take Stroud or maybe Levis if they fall to him, and if not he'll trade back and take someone like Hendon Hooker in the second round.

Bears should trade back with Houston then again to #4 with Indy and then possibly again if someone is desperate for Levis. Just stockpile picks. Never happen but fun to think about.

I think there’s a very good chance that Stroud is the first QB off the board, to whoever trades up for the Bears #1. I really think teams are going to cool on Bryce when they start seeing him in person and realize he’s barely bigger than Nick Saban.

Forrest on Fire posted:I don't think Bryce Young is a better prospect than Fields. I don't think they're going to go that route unless a team offers more capital for Fields than for the chance to take Young or Stroud Bryce now is eerily similar to Fields now in terms of playing style—Fields just leaned more into running when someone remembered he’s like Dak sized and can handle it/it moves the offense better than assuming Claypool is a WR1. I guess you can make the argument Bryce has now played without the WR advantage and may be ready for the Bears offense but I’m not taking that bet. Same tendency to hang balls vertically. Same solid ball placement over the middle/intermediate zones. Difference is that you already have injury history with Bryce at the college level that could indicate you’ve got to be hyper aware of protecting him. 2 years of rookie contract back would help but are you really confident that you can protect the more brittle guy on that deal than just trying to build the roster around fields and know Williams/Maye are there next year if Fields doesn’t progress? Stroud is a better passer right now than Fields on accuracy, less room to grow because Fields does have a bigger arm than you think and moves better. I also think he might do worse in that offense right now because who the gently caress do the bears have right now to help out any quarterback. Sure he can hit tighter windows but is Chase Claypool in a tight window winning football? They have like $100m in cap space and should theoretically be able to lock up a lot of talent with that and even more in the draft. There’s no reason not to build the roster and know that you can trade up/suck later while raising the team ceiling. Diva Cupcake posted:Probably. There's almost zero chance someone is offering more for Fields than for the #1 but if this FO and coaching staff who didn't draft Fields thinks they have a higher ceiling with Young/Stroud while resetting the rookie deal timer, it has to be considered. These are their jobs on the line. This is essentially the gambit. Their ceiling isn’t any better from the QB position, but the optics of being able to blame the old QB/regime get you some runway with dumber ownerships. As other people have mentioned though, successful Fields elsewhere would mean this looks reeeeeal bad if you’re wrong.

Irsay just wants the carousel to stop and to give the fanbase some bright shiny new QB to put all their hopes and dreams into. Given that Irsay is confirmed to be the one making the final call on the new coaching hire, I'm betting that coach's opinion will carry a lot of weight. If that coach says he can work with any of the top three guys I doubt Irsay forces a trade.
