They used their highest 6th to get to 39.

    Trubisky? Just quit posting in this thread. This is the exact opposite of Trubisky. Trubisky was a bench guy who only started 1 year for UNC and wasnt even that good. Joe Burrow couldnt beat out Field

    Not a 1st round pick? There was a better chance that I was picked in the 1st round than Fields wouldnt be. Seriously if you cant legitimately talk about the sport, dont bother getting upset and j

I think they have 151(5th) ,204/ 208, 221 and 228 (6th) left. 

It is unclear if they traded 204 or 208 to move up for 39, because I thought they traded 206(that's what was announced on NFLN) but they never had that pick

CBS says they traded the 204 pick

Makes sense, that was their highest 6th.

Tommy Tremble picked at 83, dang, Pace misses out on a TE.

I'm still high on Cole Kmet personally.

Me too. Montgomery shined late last year too and obviously Mooney and Cohen should be a better fit now when he gets back cause the last time he played a full season bears had no te and no wideout but Robinson.

I think the bears line and skill position players are actually underrated at this point. I think arrow largely pointing up - but I am a huge Mooney fan. I will note I would have loved one more wideout - but at this point - as much as I can’t stand Miller - if you can’t get a fourth for him just roll with him and see if it works better with Fields/Dalton.

But they have a high fifth.

Dream scenario...

 

Post june 1st if they cut Leno, Graham, and Miller, then trade Foles, they would free up around 20M in cap space. Robinson likes the pick of Fields and signs an extension that is structured to free up some cap.....Then the Bears sign Eric Fisher.

Fisher-Daniels-Mustipher-Whitehair-Jenkins with Fields behind them could be really sexy. Love the RB room the Bears have with Montgomery, Cohen, and Williams. I hope Cohen sees a lot of time in the slot where I absolutely think he can make an impact. Then you hope Mooney and Kmet take steps up in year 2 and that offense could be a lot of fun. 

Absolutely love the Jenkins pick BTW. He gets the most praise in the run game, but he's also only given up 2 sacks in over a thousand pass blocking snaps.

Isnt he out until like December?

That seems optimistic considered he tore his ACL in the AFC championship game

It seems like lineman can recover quickly. Heres a tidbit that brings some optimism...

"Fisher is a tough player to slot, given that he’ll be spending his offseason rehabbing after suffering a torn Achilles in January. As a point of reference, Eagles guard Brandon Brooks tore his Achilles in January of 2019 and started all 16 games the next season. So Fisher being healthy by Week 1 of 2021 is not out of the question. He has 113 career starts and is a two-time Pro Bowler. Demand outweighs supply at left tackle, meaning Fisher should still have a strong market, despite the injury."

 

even if he misses the first 5 or 6 weeks the juice may be worth the squeeze.

Wow that’s crazy considering their weight.

The only problem is what if he's not available week 1 and you've cut Leno...who do you put at LT.

 

Russell Okung is out there and could come cheap but he's been injury prone as well. Might be worth a shot though as he should come cheap on a 1 year deal.

Well you could try Jenkins at LT and ifedi at RT where I thought he was actually avg.

I know we shouldn’t be trading up anymore, but damn would I consider it for Tylan Wallace.

Like the picks so far but the constant trading up to get their guy just proves that they don’t even trust their own scouting. They have eyes on one guy rather than multiple and so when they miss, it hurts bad because of their lack of depth. I fully expect another letdown of a season, I can’t drink the kool-aid anymore. 

I'd like them to take a shot on either Tamorrion Terry or Trevon Grimes in the 5th. They need another receiver with size.

Couldn’t you say it is the opposite - they trust their scouting so much when they see a guy out there that they have good value on - they show their conviction and get him. 

Another tackle. Bmags - this guy any good? 

Hmm, really would have preferred a multitude of other guys:

Sage Surratt WR

Jamar Johnson S

Hamsah Nsairildean S

Daviyon Nix DL

Ardarius Washington S

Seth Williams WR

 

Those are some great values right now, didn't think we'd go guard in round 5.

I guess.  Jackson worked (although he sucked last year). Mitch, Miller, Floyd did not.  Big misses considering the importance and round those picks were made in. 
 

Their conviction sucks and the team is not as good as it could be because of all of the failed draft trades.  They had to do it but If Fields doesn’t pan out, it will be another devastating blow to their future.

If Fields works out, it's much easier to surround talent for him.  If he doesn't, well the rebuild was inevitable without a QB anyways.
