ASHKUM BEAR

CB is a position I would prefer they spend a 1st or 2nd round pick on. Since those high picks are scarce next draft, I am alright starting with Johnson locked on one side and Graham/Vildor/FA/Shelly competing for the other side. Maybe take a flyer on another late round pick if there is someone they like but not sure how a late round will be able to lock that other side down. The following year I think they can go high with a 1st or 2nd. We can scrap TE Ruckert or the FB Horvath for CB but those are elements that I think can help the offense.

I like Pickens and believe he would be a 1st round player but big injury makes him a risk. If he is there when our pick comes up, trade down and then if he is still there later, take him.

I said it earlier and will say it again....trade down and get those extra picks. If we can move down enough in the 2nd to get a 3rd and possibly a 4th or 5th do it. Look at the contributors we are getting in those 3rd-5th rounds. We are not giving up on Jenkins/Borum, so OT is set. We may have found the #2 CB, so that may wait. If we sign William's to pair with Mooney, WR is not a must. We will need at least 1 S, preferably SS since we are stuck with EJack so 3rd round could net a decent player. I wouldn't mind spending a higher pick at DT since we are losing possibly both Hicks/Nichols. If a stud is sitting there at 37, then maybe not trade down. Your Picks: traded 37 to Cle 47 , a 3rd and 4th Round 2 Pick 14 (CLE): John Metchie, WR, Alabama (A) Round 3 Pick 5: Phidarian Mathis, DT, Alabama (A) Round 3 Pick 15 (CLE): Jarrett Patterson, OG/C, Notre Dame (A+) Round 4 Pick 14 (CLE): Jeremy Ruckert, TE, Ohio State (A+) Round 5 Pick 3: Nick Cross, FS/SS, Maryland (A+) Round 5 Pick 5: Zander Horvath, FB/RB, Purdue (C-) Round 6 Pick 4: Jack Sanborn, ILB, Wisconsin (A+)

I remember mentioning Kyle Shannahan years ago for a HC search because of his adaptability as an offensive coordinator. He designed an offense for RG3 that was pretty exciting for a short time. He couldn't coach RG3 to slide though. Now i look at Greg Roman as that coordinator. I just want to have an offense that works and a QB that becomes great.

I hope they clean house soon so they can start interviewing. I feel for Nagy since he came in and tried to his best to create an exciting offense but what he didn't realize is the playbook he swiped from the chiefs was re-loaded with fake plays which left him empty handed ? It would be great to see the Bears hire a front office of football minds, a gm that is an A+ student and a coaching staff that can mold to the players instead of the other way.

Today there is a report the Bears spoke to Trace Armstrong about becoming the Head of Football Operations for the organization. Even though Trace said it was not true, I think that is the route the Bears need to go before deciding Paces fate. Get someone in place to find the GM. Maybe Pace moves up and Champ Kelly takes GM.

Right now I'm in the boat to have the extra picks to increase the odds of finding those starters. Edit: added - I'd love to steal Devante Adam's from GB to replace AR. DAdams was also drafted 2nd RD 53rd pick. Having the QB that can do what Rodgers can do helps make WRs, so I am hoping Fields can do this for us.

I know our 2nd round pick could be attractive to keep, trade down or if Pace is still in charge use to trade up. Since we used picks to trade up in the past, I would like to see a trade down once or twice if it can net us a some more top 120 picks. Let's say we trade down in the 2nd twice to get to pick 56. First trade to SF pick 2-38 for 2-49, 3-85. And 4-122. Then trade BUF for pick 2-49 for 2-56 and 3-87. This could give us a group of contributors/starters maybe not an all-pro, but a good core. 2-56 John Metchie WR AL 3-71 Josh Jobe CB AL 3-85 Bubba Bolden SS Mia 3-87 Jameree Salyer OG Ga 4-122 Jeremy Ruckert TE OSU 5-143 Tyler Goodson RB Ia 5-148 Tyreke Smith OLB OSU 6-185 Jack Sanborn ILB Wis

Maybe it was a set up? Like a conversation at Halas Hall close to different employees to see if the story leaks. Maybe each convo had a different twist. I wouldn't put it past the beat writers to find out who the lower level employees and feel them out to see if they can get info from them

That is it. The key to this team is Justin Fields. That means they have to hire the top offensive mind to be the HC so he doesn't get plucked away with Fields success. Since great OCs don't leave teams unless they get a promotion, that will be the hire. Luring college coaches may be getting more difficult with there increase in pay, so I think if the Bears make a change it will be within the league.

Why not Greg Roman? He created the offense to fit Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.

Fields had a decent day the first go round with Detroit. It would have been nice to seem him get another shot with a little experience under his belt. Watched part of the Ravens game last night and it would be nice to see an offense created for Fields like Roman did for Jackson. I think Fields could be better than Jackson tbh.

Mack and Hicks both. Seems they both catch a bug around the time the team starts sinking.

It was exciting at the time acquiring him. The pattern this team is in over the past 15 years needs to end. Throwing multiple picks at players has not worked. I would now rather draft Mark Anderson pass rush specialists over and over instead of dropping huge coin and draft capital for that final puzzle piece.

Not sure this trade worked for either team. Fields better be the dude and the Bears better never trade a1st rounder again unless its trading down for more picks.

Rotate Jenkins and Peter's at LT until Jenkins can handle it all on his own. They need to get him established the same as Fields. It may take a few games but he will get it.

Could you imagine if they fire Pace and this draft is the core to multiple SB's ??? Paces biggest issue is his damn convictions. It looks like he got the biggest piece solved at QB. LT is the next piece and then a long term OLB pass rusher is 3rd.

Matt Nagy reported that 2nd Rd pick Tevin Jenkins OT will begin practicing today. He could be a boost to the offense if he can work his way into the lineup.

Can only hope that now they have their QB that they trade down from here on.

If Jenkins/Borum can take hold at OT, I hope Whitehair/Mustispher/Daniel's, can rebound in the middle and they can save the higher picks for other needs. WR, S, and CB come to mind for that 2nd RDer. They need a player that makes an impact day one. Rd2- Jalen Tolbert WR S Ala Rd3- Jaquan Brisker SS PennSt Rd 5 Shaun Jolly CB App St Rd5 Cory Durden DT NC Rd6 Myron Tugalovia-Amosa DE ND I know the offense needs help, but the defense will be depleted after FA.

For now we can chillax ? but if he continues....? to ?

He was in the 10-15 range at the start of the season. Montgomery is a workhorse, nothing spectacular other than his high YAC.

May I have your attention please? May I have your attention please? Will the real Patrick Mahomes please stand up. I repeat, will the real Patrick Mahomes please stand up? We're gonna gave a problem here. The real Mahomes has put together a few fabulous years. I think the Chiefs figure it out and get him back on track. Like said above, it takes a team.

The only trades Pace knows how to make are draft day trade up. I'm surprised he didn't trade pics to the Bills for Trubisky. Rumors the Patriots had interest in ARob.

To be honest, I doubt we see any action unless we can trade Foles or Dalton for a late pick.
