Bowler1215 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Bears trade 20 to KC for 31 and 94 31) QB Kellen Mond He might fall to us in round 2 but why chance it? It'll cost us a ton to move up for a QB, why not move back, get an extra pick and get Mond. 52) OT Liam Eichenberg We upgrade our LT spot, and protect our QB for the future 83) WR Dyami Brown another deep threat WR who along with Mooney could be nightmares for opposing DBs. 94) Safety Talanoa Hufanga SS to go with E-Jax on the back end of our D 164) CB Tariq Castro-Fields depth, possible nickle back 204) OT/OG Stone Forsythe possible replacement for Massie at RT 208) DE Khyiris Tonga can't have too many pass rushers 221) RB John Lovett we now have a three headed monster at RB with Montgomery and Cohen 228) WR Emeka Emezie Sleeper pick here, possible replacement for Wins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinz D. Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Adore it, except for Eichenberg. Everybody I've seen evaluate him projects him as RT at the next level. Give me Leatherwood or Radunz. Otherwise, that's a very solid group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 If you're going to want a QB in the 2nd, then you take him at the end of the 1st. Get that 5th year option. I'm not huge on Mond but if you're going to take him this is the place to do so. Good work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmike90 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Sorry man just can't get behind a draft with Mond as the headline act...would rather build around Dalton for a year then next season with more capital try and find the franchise guy.

I'm far from sold on Mond too, but having a young backup with a 5th year option fighting against a high pick in 2022 sounds a lot better to me than paying Foles and Dalton their money for mediocre results. At that spot Mond would const around $2.5 mil on average so we'd have a lot of capital to surround the two young guys. I'll take the gamble.

Bring in a 1st round rookie QB then drafting another rookie QB in the 1st next year would be a disaster IMO...for me I would be patient and try and put the building blocks in place for that 2022 QB who will more than likely be a top 10 pick to succeed rather than reaching for a QB this year to try and save Pace/Nagy.

I think a lot of us would prefer that route, however I doubt that Pace & Nagy are thinking long term in putting building blocks in place for a QB next year. They are trying to win now. That said I don't think QB will be the play in round 1 unless a surprise fall happens I see Bears staying put at 20 taking the BPA and then taking a flier on a 2nd round QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm also thinking. I don't see how a round 1 rookie buys them more time. Dalton should start most if not all of the season unless he gets hurt or totally sucks at a Nick Foles level like we saw last season. In that case we should likely not see QB2 in much game action. It's very well possible that Pace & Nagy could be gone after this season with a record of less than .500 regardless of who they draft at QB or how promising that player may be As I said earlier I could see them taking a flier on a QB in round 2 if the chips fall properly but round 1 should be someone who helps this team instantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSLCF04 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Why is everyone obbsessed with the 5th year option for a qb. If you have to exercise that option on the QB, he aint worth the next contract. If hes your franchuse guy, he's getting a new contract before year 5. I would hate this draft becuse of the massive reach on Mond alone. Edited April 12, 2021 by DABEARSLCF04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the obsession is with the idea of playing under that 5th year for exactly the reasons you mention, but it does give you a viable option for one more “cheap year” before a decision is necessary, or really even if they’ve already made an extension. Look at the beginning years on early extensions like those to Goff and Wentz. Having that year 4 AND 5 already essentially on the books at a low number makes any new deal for cap purposes basically just a big add on versus a whole rewrite. It’s not the HUGE deal it’s made to be by some IMO but it’s not unimportant either. That said, I would NOT take Mond in the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
