WindyCity Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I sign Nick Vannett from Pittsburgh to be the Y TE. He isn’t dynamic but is a professional Y TE that can at least block. Draft the future at the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that would be a big boost to the run game, especially if we go 2 TEs. I don't have the stats to back be up but I feel he is a solid blocker and the run game improves when he is there. I'd be fine to have him be a starting FB and a reserve TE, but I want a better receiver as the starter since he hasn't really impressed me there yet.

Horsted would be the backup U. If my rookie looks good in camp I cut Burton before the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damikeeeee Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I don't love any option. For me to really be excited I'd trade for Evan Engram. Could cost us a 2nd and a resigning but it could be worth it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 I'd send a draft pick to Tampa Bay for OJ Howard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The position requires an NFL player. We can worry about a dynamic player down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No post June 1st cuts without a CBA. You eat 7.5 million I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather just take a TE in the 2nd round then ship the pick. Howard isn’t as good as his draft position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be the first year Pace does alot of trading down in order to get more picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardown3231 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I used to be super against trading picks for players already in the league, but I've joiend the dark side. Think about it this way: will anyone the Bears take in round 2 be as good as Evan Engram or OJ Howard? Probably not. I'd go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 We need a legit threat in the passing game thar can be functional blocking. I don't care how we acquire that TE, just get it done and make sure they can contribute in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
