I have to think Carolina would be interested. Their first 2 picks (9 and 41), plus their 4th round pick, plus next year's 1st round pick would be enough points.

They have 3 picks from San Fran, so even by trading us their 2nd and 4th, they would have SF's 2nd and 4th this year.

Not sure we want to trade down that far though. I don't know that Indy would be willing to pay the price. They don't have a lot of picks and they'd have to trade #4, #35 and next year's #1 to get there.

Keep on eye on Dylan Horton #98 for TCU tonight - DE from around the Dallas area.  Might be a decent mid round pick for the Bears.

I thought I heard a media guy high on a TCU defensive lineman, could be mistaken.

Quentin Johnston has been hurt and under utilized the games I’ve seen.  Let’s see how he does against this competition.

Jalen Carter looked kind of gassed in a rotation last game so I look for more from him.

It might be worth another 3-14 season to get a shot at Brock Bowers next draft…

We really need to get another #1 in next years draft if we can.

 Yeah Bowers came out of nowhere. Top round future talent.

  Bears roster is devoid of their own draft picks.

This is why it's foolish for everyone to think they'll magically get much better through the draft. Bears haven't drafted right for years! Either trading up and throwing picks away...thank God they can't do this this time for the first  ::) , or just plain drafting stupid, they have not improved this team one bit, picking first in this draft proves that glaringly....

Poles hasn’t been “drafting for years”

But Virginia McCaskey and her family has - at least that's what a lot of folks believe.

Poles was handcuffed last season - that shouldn't be the case this one.

Doesn't matter who drafts, the results are the same and have been for ages. This is why this team is sitting at the bottom....

That Indy trade you propose would be tough to turn down.

This is exactly right. This doesn't go back 5 years, this goes back,,, well,, a long time.. And this has happened under many different GM's. The last good drafts were during the early 80's.. Poles must prove he is capable of changing that...

I don't know how I missed it but the Broncos upset the Chargers pushing the Colts into the 4 spot.  Here's a mock with that trade down scenario:

Unfortunately, the Cards take the coveted Anderson, who I kind of prefer over Carter.  But both guys are highly rated and fill a huge need for the Bears.

A better scenario would be first swapping with Houston then hoping the Colts trade for the second pick with the threat of Atlanta, Carolina, Seattle, or the Raiders making competitive offers.

Yes I like that better. But that supposed "trade" with the Colts doesnt show what else we got by moving down. There had to be picks or players or both.
