HighCalebR Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 You're saying that 1st round pick just vanishes? That turns into someone down the road.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like saying the Saints traded Brandin Cooks to the Patriots for free, and like saying the Patriots traded Cooks to the Rams for free. That's worse than the Adrian Peterson is overrated because he might get hurt and the McCarthy didn't monitor Montgomery's stamina, which is why Montgomery got hurt arguments. Traded for a first and a third because the first first doesn't count. Not sure why it wouldnt make sense, the Bears are getting Mack for giving up the picks, no? No way they get a guaranteed caliber player like Mack in the 1st round next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree, for the Bears it turns into Mack. For the Raiders, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafreak Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Would we have traded next years 1st rounder for Mack? Same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't understand why it doesn't make sense now, you'll never understand why it doesn't make sense, but I'll try. You have one penny. You give that penny to bye a tootsie roll. You have lost that penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just got their tootsie roll early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew somebody would do this. Don't confuse him anymore. You have two dimes and a nickel. You use those two dimes and nickel to bye a sucker. You have lost those two dimes and nickel. The dime did not become that sucker, BOTH dimes AND the nickel became that sucker. It was not giving up a dime and a nickel for the sucker, it was giving up all three coins for that sucker. So saying that you gave up a dime and a nickel for a sucker when you gave up two dimes and a nickel for a sucker is not accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnarok Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 1 hour ago, Outpost31 said: That's why I'm a little excited about this. It's only a good thing for the Packers in week one. If they traded a player who has been playing and practicing all offseason for a player who can't possibly be ready by week one, it makes our game against them on the 9th that much easier. Same exact thing happened to the Seahawks in week one last year. They traded for Sheldon Richardson on September 1st and everybody thought he'd have a big impact on the game. That was when he played the whole preseason and practiced for the Jets all year and was NFL fit. He had 4 tackles, but he didn't have some huge impact. I don't expect Mack to, either. I think Mack is far more professional than Sheldon. My guess is that he is in excellent shape. 1 hour ago, Green19 said: I wonder which starter. Maybe Floyd? Could be chase Daniels ( he is their backup QB right?) No way Pace sends away Floyd. This move gives the Bears one of the best players in the NFL. They already had a very good defense and could end up with the best D in the NFL. Top tier front seven, two very good safeties, and a solid CB group.

I think we all would agree that we would give up a 1st rounder for Mack. One player for another, simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCalebR Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The opportunity cost was the whole package, not just the 1 first rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other one could be a nickel, or it could be a penny. They gave up those three coins for something that was good, could still be good, or could be nothing once it is paid 100 million dollars.

In addition, they gave up another 1st and a 3rd. They traded a dime for a quarter and then gave up another dime and a penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
