SemperFeist Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 According to the aggregate big board, Christian Darrisaw was the #1 player available when the Vikings were on the clock. At 14. It was a ballsy move to trade down, but it looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 I think Paul Allen laid it out really well, Option A: Use a third to jump LA and draft Rashawn Slater, highly likely ending any chance at moving back up into the 2nd round. Option B: Stay at 14 and draft Alijah Vera-Tucker, not impossible but still tough to get back in to the 2nd round. Option C Trade down, targeting Christian Darrisaw, and pick up significant draft capital that makes trading back in to the 2nd round easy. Looking at those options, it’s hard to say they didn’t make the correct move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I love the pick. I love that we picked up more picks. I still think we could have gotten more compensation. A 2nd and a 3rd round pick to me is good compensation. He should have gotten a 2nd round pick to make up for his dumb trade of Ngakoue. Looking foward to tonight to see who else we can get.

Top 15 pick for each each team moving back into the 20's. They got a 1st rounder and they were only 3 picks ahead of us. Was this just bad management by the Bears front office?

gopherwrestler Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 save a half Million, gain 2 picks for ammo to move up to the 2nd. Honestly it’s fair to say he could have been our pick at #14. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
