Unless they fall in love with Wilson and the foot checks out, then maybe another trade down with Carolina or thereabouts...

Should that drop to 4 include Buckner or next year's 1st?

We'll see what happens by draft time.  If all he gets are the 2 misdemeanor charges - he will be drafted at the top of the draft.

Even though he was racing what really gets me is he was at the scene of the accident before police/fireman arrived - 2 people died and another 2 were seriously injured.

We’ll see if Carter is a guy who thinks rules don’t apply to him or if he’s a 22 year old who learned a lesson.

At 21 most guys don’t think about dying when they do stupid stuff.  By 21 I had driven a few times when I had no business walking let alone driving.  Maturity took its course and I used better judgement.

I suspect teams will be talking a lot to coaches, friends, police to evaluate his attitude.


Of course the other question is why this just came out now.

Thinking about dying and thinking about the cost of insurance premiums can radically change behavior.

I agree. It all depends.

The McCaskets have always been against having bad character players.

Even if he did not force those deaths, he is responsible for walking away after knowing. And if he was in the car (even when he was not driving) that did cause the deaths he is still culpable (unless they held a gun to his as a hostage or something). Manslaughter charges are nothing to sneeze at, even if you were not the one pulling the trigger, so to speak....

Isn't it just like the Bears to have a high pick and a player they want to only turn around and the player does some brainless thing to screw things up....  Bearrrssse... ::)

The NFLPA released its report cards on teams. The Bears scored mid-level but some of the comments are interesting.

https://nflpa.com/nfl-player-team-report-cards

Bears are rated as having good weight room, locker room, but not so good on the nutrition or how it handles families.

Its pretty interesting stuff......

The guy made a stupid statement. But the proposed bill had nothing to do with "lynching" and was/is all about the firing squad (which I think is stupid as well).

Can someone please shut the damm door.. What a bunch a fukking morons...

From the above link:

Interested parties: If Houston wants to cut off a suitor for, say, Bryce Young, the Bears could double-trade—taking perhaps two high (but not first-round) picks to go to number two, then deal again for a team, in this example, desperate for C.J. Stroud or Anthony Richardson. Las Vegas will be interested if there’s a QB Josh McDaniels really likes, but I’m dubious the Raiders will be desperate enough to do what Indy or Carolina would do to move up.

Outside shots. Seattle, at five, likely would have to lose Geno Smith in free-agency to get heavily involved. There’s no book on new Tennessee GM Ran Carthon, so never say never. But for him to outbid Carolina would surprise me.

“I’m blessed to be able to read people,” Poles said about the QB market. “I can feel it. There’s urgency out there. There’s pressure.”

One interesting thing to keep in mind: When the league year begins March 15, teams can trade draft picks in 2023, ’24 and ’25. Beginning on draft day, April 27, teams can trade picks in ’23, ’24, ’25 and ’26. That could make waiting interesting for Chicago.

The three interested parties at the Combine, Poles said, included at least one “that’s further back than what I thought … But if I’m going to the next tier [on the Bears’ draft board], you’re gonna have to make up for that with more capital.

“The interesting part is having a conversation with one team, and then one hour later another team texts you wanting in on the trade and they’re not afraid of what the floor of what you’re asking for is.”

This is the sense I got from Poles, the unspoken sense: He views this as, potentially, the gift that keeps on giving. Everyone has seen what the Eagles have done in gathering more and more draft capital; last year they traded the 16th and 19th overall picks to the Saints for the 18th pick plus additional picks in the first, second and third rounds.

“No one’s gonna rush me,” Poles said. “I know I can get a ’24 one and a ’25 one. You’re telling me for the next two years I’ll have two ones? That’s either four really good players, or if we’re cruising, we can still trade back.”

Good year to be running the Bears’ draft, for once. Now Poles just has to find the right deal.

 tic...tic...tic...tic...tic... you can feel this forum counting down into its rightful place in the past.

 If an admin starts a 2023 Bears forum not only would Bears fans here on Earth be grateful but also our bases on the Moon and Mars would be too.
