Official 2018-2019 Chicago Bears Thread - Nagy Takes Over

[Flyn]

If Nelson is there at 8 I'd take him, too. I think he's going to go sooner unless one of the teams ahead of the Bears does something strange.

3 QBs, Saquon, Chubb, Minka, Nelson,

After seeing Ridley's Combine, Bears might be able to trade down to 15 and still get him.

I'm not impressed with the top of this year's WR class.

 

[Kensington]

Not a great year to be in the market for a WR, draft or FA

Bears are looking to get rid of Howard i see... Dumbasses

 

[10sec]

Howard can't catch the ball, the move totally makes sense. Especially with Cohen still in the lineup ready to break ankles.

 

[Flyn]

It's a very risky move to trade Howard for Landry. Costs a bunch, too, since Howard plays on his rookie contract and Landry is going to get +/- $15 mil.

Would it be easier to train Howard to catch the ball and get a WR elsewhere for less? Allen Robinson and Sammy Watkins would both be cheaper and better. Sign Robinson to a 1 year prove it deal or check Watkin's health before signing him. Either one of these guys can beat a DB1 which Landry can't do. Landry gets first downs over the middle like Welker did. Would you trade Howard for a younger Wes Welker? That's the question.

Cohen is fucking Basura!

You cray cray.

The Bears aren’t actively trying to trade Howard...

Also Cohen is not an every down back. He is a gadget player, but would not hold up to every down duty.

 

[Kensington]

Miami (Questionable at best)
Redskins (Traded for Alex Smith - not trading up for a qb)
Arizona (You aren't getting Ridley at 15 so good luck with that.)

Baker Mayfield was solid in the passing drills, but that was to be expected. A couple of deep throws got away from him, but short and mid-range accuracy were excellent. The reason he's getting a stock-up arrow is because he absolutely aced the interviews. Mayfield has that "it" factor, and teams have learned this. There could be numerous teams attempting to trade into the top 10 to acquire him. I expect the Dolphins, Saints and Bills to attempt to do so.

 

[Kensington]

Calvin Ridley registered some very disappointing numbers at the combine. His 40 of 4.43 was decent, but his vertical of 31 inches and broad jump of 9-2 were both awful. He's a better player than that - the numbers don't factor in route running - but he can no longer be considered the consensus top receiver (not that he should've been in the first place.) Courtland Sutton was already close, and Sutton may have passed him in Indianapolis.

Sutton didn't look that great, either.

Funny thing about the internet. A 5 minute search and I can find some one with a different opinion than you have.

 

[Kensington]

5 minutes? It took you that long

Report says Bears will NOT franchise tag Kyle Fuller.

 

[Kensington]

Interesting but not devastating. I'm worried if he gets a long term extension, he'll regress to bad Fuller which we've definitely seen. Seems like if he's got incentive to play well, he does.

 

[10sec]

He hasn't proven shit, so that's a very good move. Shit, Conte had his glory moments and that dude sucks.

 

[Flyn]

Main problem with not franchising him is a needy team with cap room may offer a similar number to the franchise tag and take him. If I'm the Bears, I'm working hard to get him signed now. I'd offer a front loaded 3/4 year deal with bonuses for performance.

 

[Kensington]

There’s a lot of CB’s on the market this year, so I’m not super worried about letting him walk. He’s definitely an up and down player, so finding someone in FA that’s a little more consistent that may command similar money would probably be more ideal in my eyes

 

[Flyn]

I can see that argument. However, Bears thought that when they let Jeffery go. Didn't work out well that time. I hate to let talent go. There's a chance Jeffery is just finding his stride and will keep improving.

 

[Flyn]

After watching the Combine, I can see the Bears thinking about LB Tremaine Edmunds with pick 8. Kid is only 19, has speed like Urlacher and, watching the highlights, does whatever he needs to do to get to the ball carrier.

Forte signing a 1 day contract and retiring a Bear.
Good for him, he was probably the best Bears RB since who.....maybe Neal Anderson?

 

[Flyn]

It's a good thing to have Forte retire a Bear. He was one of the bright spots in some pretty dim years.
