The value of a blue WR at 9 vs what we could get further down is what needs to be considered. I dunno. Maybe Poles will do what Biggs says. I know I wouldn't but my choices are not always right.
We need you at GM, BIH... and maybe CEO to straighten out the stadium thing too. What would be your first move as GM though?
I think lots of teams are willing to come up to #9, but what they are offering is pennies in return. Just to use the Bills, is @28 and a 4th rounder enough to justify giving up #9? Not by a long shot.
For the Bears to trade down that far (#28), the Bills would have to give us a lot, according to that draft trade calculator. In fact, I'd think they'd have to give us a player in addition to their 1st (#28), 2nd, 4th picks. But I have no idea how accurate that draft calculator tool is.
He has the Bears taking Troy Fautanu, OT, Washington in a trade down at #11. He does the trade down from #9 with both Nabers and also Odunze still on the board at that point. I don't know about that one. But Poles has so many options with that #9 pick that nobody really know WHAT he will do.
Two things I keep coming away with when considering this draft are:
1. There are incredible talents in this year's first round that I really really covet.
2. It's going to be hard for me to watch other teams draft these guys and not us.
mpbears68 - you've made a good point in a few posts regarding the fact that the Bears probably won't get much in a trade down, unless there is a significant trade down from 9. I believe that too. I don't see some "haul" from the #9 trade of our pick. By the way, here is an online draft trade calculator to "what if" this possible tradedown thing:

Trading down from #9 to #11 would probably get you a 4th round pick.
Not even close to worth it IMO. And no way I'm passing on an elite WR prospect, or TWO of them, for a measly 4th rounder (which is probably a 6th or 7th round equivalent in this draft).
