Not at all, fire away!

Or this mock! 40. Gregory Rousseau EDGE Miami (FL) 52. Liam Eichenberg OT Notre Dame 59. Jalen Mayfield OT Michigan 71. Kellen Mond QB Texas A&M 101. Davis Mills QB Stanford 112.

As always I’m amped up for the Draft here on the eve of the 1st round just like a kid the night before Christmas! Will Pace do right by the team or will he get selfish and greedy like the grinch? Gamble the Bears future with a huge Trade up, stay put, or trade back and infuse team with more potential talent? These are among just a few of the questions and draft scenarios we all ponder. Here is my final Mock that addresses current and future needs! 36. Zaven Collins LB Tulsa 50. Liam Eichenberg OT Notre Dame 52. Jalen Mayfield OT Michigan 83. Davis Mills QB Stanford 156. Jamie Newman QB Georgia 164. Trevon Grimes WR Florida 204. Joshua Kaindoh EDGE Florida State 208. Simi Fehoko WR Stanford 221. Deommodore Lenoir CB Oregon 228. Tre Walker WR San Jose State 237. Tedarrell Slaton DT Florida 253. Christian Uphoff S Illinois State

It’s totally logical and I agree that landing a top 5 QB prospect will buy Pace / Nagy more time. This franchise can’t afford another strike out at QB, hopefully they strike platinum.

Trade Down Scenario: 1. OT 2. OT 3. S 4. CB 5. WR / QB Trade Up Scenario: 1. QB 2. OT

Nice

If the Bears are not able to move up for Mac Jones, Pace should strongly consider trading back and draft bookend OTs and some defense talent along with a developmental QB. 37. Zaven Collins LB Tulsa 50. Richie Grant S UCF 52. Dillon Radunz OT North Dakota State 83. Liam Eichenberg OT Notre Dame 123. Jamie Newman QB Georgia 164. Benjamin St-Juste CB Minnesota 204. Patrick Johnson EDGE Tulane 208. Tamorrion Terry WR Florida State 221. Paris Ford S Pittsburgh 228. Tre Walker WR San Jose State https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft/

Good grief Charlie Brown! Pace & Nagy must want to go out like Thelma & Louise, driving together right of the cliff! Sadly they are taking the franchise down with them!

Dalton was cut on April 30 just days after the 2020 draft.

That draft simulator you used is tough as they have a predictive mode and typically all the top 5 QBs are gone within the top 10 picks.

Dislike taking any WR in round 1; but do like OT Radunz in Round 2!

Most logical answer is Cincy wanted to protect themselves through the draft in case 1. some weird injury or personal issue happened to Burrow and they couldn’t risk drafting him or 2. another team offered an unbelievable trade for the first pick that they couldn’t resist! Pace should have been aware of this situation and could have waited until after the draft to pick up a veteran QB or even made a trade with the Bengals for Dalton then; but he had already traded for Foles. Either way I’m not convinced any other team was calling Jax about Foles who was injured most 2019 and just signed a decent contract in the previous offseason. I would have preferred a Mitch vs Andy QB competition last year while having a 4th rounder this year. It’s a moot point and just hoping Pace is able to draft a QB and at least one OT, ( I prefer two), that could start immediately! Imagine, having two top tier OT’s as bookends and what that could do for the current QB and the offensive as a whole. Not to mention the benefits of sustaining drives and scoring more points would do for the defense?

Sure, the plandemic was an issue. But I’m sure most NFL front offices around the league probably knew the Bengals would draft Burrow and eventually cut Dalton. Foles may have known the KC offense but is about as elusive as a scare crow; just a terrible fit for Nagy’s scheme! But then again, 90% percent of his play calls are bubble screens. Point is Pace has a track record of making some good moves but also has a history of getting trade raped! Ultimately, I expected more from Pace coming from the respectful Saints organization as they are competitive most years. Nagy is too gimmicky in his play calling and needs to put his players in the best position to succeed. Pace needs to have a great draft this year or else it’s going to be a long time before the Bears will be in the playoffs again!

Again, My biggest problem with the Dalton signing is that it was a year late. Pace could have signed AD for $3m or whatever bargain deal the Cowboys were able to in 2020. This would of preserved our 2021 4th rounder that he traded away to Jacksonville for Foles; who would have never been a Bear and Pace would never had to sign him to an extension to spread out the cap hit last year. This could have also provided Pace the opportunity to restructure and extend Fuller to a fair deal while spreading out the 2021 cap hit. So many mistakes by this Front Office that have had ripples of consequences.

Meanwhile the Saints re-signed Jaemis Winston for 1 year $5.5M. Pace should have offered 2 years $12M deal.

No way is Russel Wilson worth this proposed offer! In my opinion, God certainly intervened here on behalf all Bears fans and saved us from Pace, for now. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bears-tried-to-trade-for-russell-wilson-before-signing-andy-dalton-and-heres-what-they-offered/

Why cut when they could trade Fuller?Bears front office is delirious!

To me I think its more risky of getting fired if Pace makes a major trade for Russell Wilson or another stud QB, because if it fails in 2021 there is very little doubt that Pace would be fired as is Nagy if he some how can’t give up play calling. If Pace and Nagy want to be given more time with the Bears in my opinion it’s more logical to trade up and draft a top 5 QB that way they can sell to ownership and fan base that they just need more time now that they got their QB!

We already know how this story plays out, we get a very good competent QB and then the Bears do to insert name [ Russell Wilson] that they did when they got Jay Cutler. Which is be all in on a QB but have no offensive line and offensive weapons while having the majority of the resources allocated to the defense side of the ball.

I agree Alaskan, I thought Jimmy played well last year and I admittedly didn’t have high expectations when he was signed. Would like Graham to restructure and finish career with Bears.

Great points OmahaBear. I typically am a half glass full optimist but Maybe ConnorBear is right and the second city does need a new NFL franchise to give us an escape from the McCaskey’s! This team used to be very good at managing the cap and now everything seems so bleak and we have more needs to fill and no financial latitude to fix this shit show! They can't draft, develop players and now there is no financial ability or draft capital to address all the needs. Maybe they need to blow it all up and do a complete rebuild starting with a QB and two top OT’s in the first round. Trade Mack, Hicks and even Fuller get as many top 100 picks as possible and start building this team the right way. This of course won't happen until Pace and Nagy are gone as they seem heading down the path of selling out for a veteran QB only to completely bankrupt team resources and precious draft capital. So once again we will see the fruit of desperation further kick the can down the road on a total gut and rebuild job. Feeling hopeless in Chicago, even though it's been a couple decades since I left the Windy city and moved to Denver!

I would not want a second team in Chicago. We had the Cardinals years ago and now they are in AZ after a while in St. Louis. If you feel like you need a second team to root for cool, there are plenty of AFC teams to pick from. Back in the day (circa 1992) I liked the Chargers as a second team to follow as when playing super techno bowl everyone was a bears fan and we had to take turns being the Bears! So I’d take Stan Humphries, Anthony Miller, Marion Butts, and Eric Bieniemy, to name a few when I couldn’t have the Bears.

Yes, they would have to trade a 2022 first rounder and possibly a second rounder to move up. In a perfect world Mac Jones would be there at 20 but the kid has the it factor from what I watched and worried he will go in the top 12 picks. Very deep draft for OT and hope the Bears don’t do anything stupid and miss out on getting stud bookends for the OL!

Bears need to rebuild through the draft. Trade up to #13 With LAC and draft Mac Jones. Then draft 2 OT in rounds 2&3. or take OT in rounds 1 & 3 and draft a QB in round 2.
