DABEARSDABOMB Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 14 hours ago, jason said: No. The Bears can go without a 1st round WR with other holes to fill and a draft deep in WRs. Its the thing that gets me - I do like the top 3 wideouts - but I also think there is a good chance one of the other talented wideouts is as good if not better. Now odds are solid that the other 3 have lower floors, etc. But you can find premiere wideouts later in 1st round and into 2nd and 3rd round, especially if you pair them with a good QB. I don't feel the same way with stud LT's....I feel like 9 times out of 10, a stud LT was a Top 10 / 15 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 If you pick at 9 you should come away with a blue chip player at a premium position. These days with colleges running so many wide open offenses it’s not hard to find a good WR outside the top 15. If you really want a WR at 9 you should just trade down maybe way down to late first. Otherwise the drop off at the premium positions OT DE QB is rapid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought in many players that are in the second round range that tells me he will trade back to get a pick there. Everyone wants a blue chip, he knows if those players are probable at a lower pick.

I would say he’s keeping his options open. First see who is still on the board at 9 then compare against any offers you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poles has put us in a great position. Not only has he exceeded my expectations, I have complete trust in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Rome or Bowers would blow somebody's shirt up but just to get back a third and low round future wouldn't do it for me. Seen one mock where we got pick 23 and 27 for 9 . Depending on who's on the board , maybe a Chop Robinson and JPJ would make that worth it. Then a WR and BPA with the last two picks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I truly believe that we will not know what is going t change the draft until the 3rd pick is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a lot of things that happen. Could be the QBs we expect are picked in the order we expect by completely surprising teams trading up to 2 and 3, or could be a total shock. I just hope more QBs go before 9 to help our choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I'd rather do ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING to make Caleb Williams happy and comfortable. I think he'd much rather see OL at #9, and his security blanket Brenden Rice in the 3rd.

Top need, center 92% success rate. Sign me up for a trade down and Graham Barton for the win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are those first round picks? What context did they use? Bust is easy to figure out but if we pick a WR at 9 , if he starts for most of his career or has to be the star because of his pick status?
