Do you trade down again in 1st, or not this year?

I just looked at Panthers schedule. They are a long shot to get 3 wins. So, if we have #1 pick again, take Harrison.  It would take a lot to get me off that.

For the other pick, I want Latu (DE) or Newton (Illini 3-tech). If they are both gone, i don’t know what to do.

I would trade down. Plenty of great talent in each draft outside the top 5 players. I have a hard time believing the talent level between MHjr and the next WR taken is worth not getting another first rounder next year.

For me its not as much the first rounder next year that I'm interested in, its adding more picks in the 2/3/4/5 rounds this year. Bears still needs lots of young/cheap talent at NT/DE/LB/S/CB/TE/WR/C + depth across the board. Some of that will come in FA, but I'd like most of it to come in rounds 2-5.

If they can do another trade down + get another players (like Poles did with Moore, maybe a pass rusher?) its even better. Always add established talent over draft picks.

No, you pickup MHJR with that 1st overall pick unless a team is willing to give us another DJ Moore type of deal.

As great as it is to watch the Bears win meaningless games. We really need two top 5 picks. Winning is holding us back.

I thought a trade with the Pats for the first pick would be great. They need a QB we can use a 2nd plus more. They get their QB and we get MHJ. With the second pick the best edge you can get or Oline. The 2nd you just got gets us the Center we need so badly. then just pick up players in order of need from there on.
