Too early to talk about draft

Bears wind up with the No 1 pick. Assuming they don't go QB they are going to have a lot of options

A positive is they may move down in the draft allowing someone to move up and take a QB... That would be good for us... Assuming we're drafting #3 or #4

What’s our draft pick now, from Denver ?

3 would have been great but 5 is just fine

Its a no brainer for chicago to trade down

Fuckin' Donkeys. With #5 I wonder if Seattle trades down. If Anderson, Carter, and Wilson are gone and Schneider doesn't like a QB, I think it's in our interest to. I think there's a pretty steep drop off after those three. If one of the QBs is available and Seattle can trade down to #8-9 or so and snag Murphy that'd be great. I do like Murphy, he should be a monster as a 3-4 DE.

A lot of mocks have them taking Murphy at the 5 spot they have Young, Shroud, Carter and Anderson going ahead of them.

Doesn't surprise me... Murphy is an athletic freak and projects very well in a 3-4... Harris is getting older... seems like a Carroll kind of pick. I've mentioned Murphy before on this forum, I didn't think we'd be drafting top 3 so my opinion changed to Carter/Anderson/Stroud up until week 18... but now that we're #5 I think I'm back to Murphy lol... can't imagine Carter/Anderson will still be there.

I still wonder if Schneider will pull the trigger on Levis... he has a very similar playstyle and athleticism to Allen who Schneider wanted to trade for...

Levis is intriguing,high ceiling low floor. Like you said similar to how Allen was viewed.

I could not believe the chargers lost to the broncos at home to end the season and put us at #5 when we were floating with a top 3 pick all season. The Broncos looked a lot better since firing Hackett thank god they didnt do this earlier in the season. If we are looking at this realistic The Texans and Colts are probably going QB with their pick and Jalen Carter will be gone.

I have to imagine we have no shot at Carter/Anderson at this point... I think we need to think about trading down...

Well if I remember correctly if you look at the history of us trading down vs taking a player top 15 when PC and JS took over I think we have gotten better results taking the player.

Earl Thomas, Russell Okung, Bruce Irvin from the top of my head.

Didn’t they trade down then take Irvin? I’d have to look it up, but I thought they traded down to take him.

We traded down with Philly for Bruce (could've had Cox, woops). You are correct we stayed put with Okung and Thomas.. that was also a LOADED draft because every player declared after the salary cap got reinstated.

Well you need to have someone that wants to trade up to Number 5.

We are a long way from the actual draft though. Things will change.

Interesting. I would’ve thought it would’ve been different. Seems like when we trade up to grab a guy they don’t pan out very well… I don’t have any facts to back it up because I haven’t looked it up but it just seems that way to me

this is how it could go:

1. Bears trade to CAR/WAS - QB
2. Texans - QB
3. Cardinals - Anderson/Carter
4. Colts - QB
5. Seahawks - Anderson/Carter

or we get the consolation prize of Murphy or Wilson which would both be big upgrades.

It seems that the consensus amongst all of us is either DL or QB. Which probably means they will draft a WR. LOL.

Combine always shuffles the draft orders a bit also… 5th is still nice, we should find a day 1 starter …
