Heinz D.

I agree that it would point towards him getting something done sooner, rather than later. However, is he going to fixate on Wentz? I mean...that could well end in a bidding war on that front, too. The Colts don't need a whole lot more to be a legitimate contender. Their draft picks aren't nearly as important to them. Ballard's a better GM, too, so if he sees certain problems with his team, he's far more likely to be able to figure out how to properly address them. What a mess...

It'll boil down to whether Watson wants to play there (if the rumor is true). There are some pretty good receivers in Carolina. Plus, Brady isn't going to play forever, and Atlanta and New Orleans may both be looking at (at least) partial re-builds. It could be a good destination for him.

They’d also be taking on $17+M in dead money to trade away the face of their franchise in his prime. I agree on value, but this one feels like a media creation to me.

Getting ahead of SF likely costs a 2nd Getting ahead of NE likely costs a 3. I meant Washington not Carolina. They're right in front of us.

Likely a 4 if we had one. 3 gets us to 14-15 based on the trade value chart that has been most accurate the last few years. I could see a 3 to Arizona with a 4/5 coming back.

Sugashane Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 8 hours ago, AZBearsFan said: Pitts is a freak but I think he’s gonna be LONG gone by 20. I wouldn’t be terribly opposed to adding his teammate Kedarius Toney though if we don’t go OT there (my high preference). I’m a big fan of Teven Jenkins at 20. He’s more experienced at RT than LT (though he’s played both) and I think his skill set fits best at RT, but he’s got a lot of nasty to his game. We dont have a shot at Pitts. Unless he has a bongmask he'll be a top 12 pick imo. Toney is someone I would love to snag, he's athletic and explosive. We need that badly. I'm still going for QB and OT in the first 2 rounds and another OT in the 3rd. Maybe we get 2 starters as bookends or get a starting OT and OG out of it. We can get some depth at WR cheaper if ARob leaves and while we wont have a number one it will force the QB to spread the ball around rather than forcing the ball to someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colts can offer the better package--without blinking an eye. It's also said Wentz prefers Indy (and, I mean, really...why wouldn't he?).

I'd be more than fine with him not coming to Bears... really The more stuff I hear about Wentz the more I think he's too soft to play QB in this league If he can't handle the pressure playing in a city like Philly then he's got no shot in a place like Chicago We don't need players with a sissy attitude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
