Bears trade up for David Montgomery - RB

[BsGenius]

We gave up our 3rd and 5th this year and a 4th next year to move to nab Montgomery and a 6th round pick. Man, that's a lot to give up. Pace must have really liked this kid.

Montgomery is as big as Jordan Howard.
Montgomery doesn't run that fast, he clocked in at 4.6 in the 40.
Montgomery has great balance and is very shifty and a good pass catcher.

Doesn't really take much to upgrade over Jordan Howard nevertheless Montgomery is exactly that. I like the pick.

Not sure what the point is in drafting this slow guy is. Nobody gets them all right but this one hurts because we lost a much better player.

You'll be wrong again. Montgomery is the better back. He's much more balanced, will break more tackles and his greatest advantage is he can make guys miss alot more than Howard. Not to mention a much superior pass catcher. I think Montgomery will also play faster than Jordan ever did, Montgomery just looks quicker.

This is a clear upgrade.

Montgomery's closest comp from many scouts: Kareem Hunt.

He's a good back. Gave up a lot with a little to give, to get him, but hopefully he's a stud and worth it.


Unless Howard was some secret, unknown cancer in the locker room, moves like this make little sense to me. Reeks of Kevin White, except Howard never let on to be the obnoxious POS that Brandon Marshall did. It's an unnecessary lateral move. Waste of a pick, in a way.

Except he will cost a lot lo less over the next 3-4 years. His measurables are similar to Howatds and is shiftier, a trait Nagy likes. Proof will be on the field.

Everything you said in bold is absolutely wrong again. But keep trying. Effort is all that matters.

Yes, but THIS YEAR, he wouldn't have cost us anything. And the main point being, is that it was a pick that could've been used elsewhere, and if Montgomery is good, we will have to pay him in a couple years or move on again, anyway.

Meh

Heard good things about the kid but haven’t seen much tape let. Maybe he’s a better back than Howard but I think the trade is giving too much. The run game is not getting better unless we call better run plays. Howard wasn’t the biggest problem and it seems like we got things going on the ground later on in the season. I think we could have kept Howard for the year but what do I know. I’m going to just trust the process and what they’re doing.

Yeah lets keep the overrated Howard for another year and let him walk and we get nothing in return. Great plan dude.

Except one problem. Howard isn't very good. Stupid fans are always blinded by stats.

Oh fuck ya, that 6th round pick next year is gonna put us over the top.



God, yer fucking dumb.

My guess, Montgomery fits the system better. Or at least should. If he does, then great pick. To note, a RB was picked two picks later. Sounds like Pace did right if he feels this RB is the real deal.

Edit: it isn't that Howard is average or bad, I believe him to be very good, it is a system fit issue. Nagy needs his shifty backs.

Could be a 5th if he's half as good as you've been claiming. Still better than nothing at all. But keep the good fight going. Howard is stud (rolls eyes) and you should never stop waving that flag you dummy.

Dumb dumb beardown doesn't like to look beyond this year. He's only able to process 1 at a time.

"Fits the system better" is code for Montgomery is a better overall back.

 

[Payton]

I liked what I saw of Montgomery in college. Guess we'll see. I akways wonder about these back they say "Aren't pass catchers" as it really isn't THAT difficult a skill... Heck, I heard the same about ADP but when I actually SEE the ball thrown his way he seems to do just fine...

So is it that the RB can't catch, or that the offense didn't/doesn't ASK the RB to catch?

Perhaps. He still has to prove himself at the next level.
