silvermike Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Post-Jones trade, the Bears have the 31st and 37th pick in the NFL draft. According to the old chart, that comes to the 14th pick in the draft - tantalizingly close to the Bills at #12. There's a non-zero chance that Brady Quinn will be on the board then, a decent answer to Chicago's QB woes. Also possible that they make a play for the rapidly-rising Greg Olsen, or whoever else Lovie has in mind. Would you take the trade for the 31st and 37th pick, which would give us 31, 37, and 43? That could result in, say, Tank Tyler at DT, Justin Blalock at OG, Brian Leonard at HB/FB, and say, Scott Chandler at TE, all on day one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Very interesting option. I'll have to think about that. I guess if Okoye, Willis and Branch are taken I would probably jump at it. Interesting to see what others think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermike Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 ONLY ONLY if Willis, Okoye and Branch are gone. Which I think is relatively likely, considering I think that Quinn has to be on the board for the Bears to jump and make this all feasible. Also, we're getting stiffed slightly on the draft value chart, but it seems like an awful lot to ask the Bears to throw in another pick - if we held a hard line, maybe we could swap their 3rd for our 4th or something.

DT's are all about the same in the 1st and 2nd rounds. It doesn't make sense to me to grab a DT at #12 when we could grab a similar guy at #31. With 31, 37, and 43, we could get probably a top 5 DT, top 5 CB, and top-3 MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
