Do we have a player on our roster comparable to Seymour? No. And I wouldn't really say that the Patriots dealt Chandler Jones on time or a year too early. In Chandler Jones' first 4 years with New England, he had 36 sacks. In his 3 seasons with Arizona, he had 40 sacks. If anything, the Patriots probably regret that trade. But I'm guessing your entire argument is about jettisoning talent, not acquiring it. Bulaga would be the equivalent of Seymour. I love Bulaga, but if somebody wanted to send us a first round pick, I'd drive him to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is giving us a first for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldn't imagine being a fan of a team that was so careless with draft picks. Just knowing that you're going into the draft and it's going to be boring as hell. The Saints have one pick in the first four rounds and the Bears have two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how much fun the Bears fans have had watching Khalil Mack though ... he was well worth what they are giving up .. in my opinion at least. The dude is a friggin' freak.

I'm not saying the Bears made a bad trade, just that the full implications haven't played out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were to make it to the Super Bowl it will have been a good move for the Bears regardless of what happens down the road. Same can be said about the New Orleans trade with us. Those are moves you make when you think you are one piece away. Short of getting to a Super Bowl, they are bad trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davenport isn't doing a whole lot for the Saints ... definitely isn't the piece that has them at the top of the NFC. Mack on the other hand ... he's a game changer for the Bears.
