You could make a case that Santos has cost them three out of the last four games.  Celebrate.  Or not.

Cairo Santos is the Tank Commander. 

 

It is kinda wild just how many games they've been in with the lack of talent on this team. It makes competing next year less crazy to think about for team that's currently picking 2nd in the draft.

Reminds me that DC fans are calling the local NFL team the Commies.  A nice touch for our nation's Capital. ?

I wonder if Santos is having that same groin muscle issue that basically got him cut from the Chiefs and is trying to gut it out

Just draft/or sign Jake Moody next year.

If the Bears stay at 2, trade down, or take Anderson or Carter?

100% trade down.

My prediction, which is nothing other than a gut feeling, they trade down and end up taking Skoronski from Northwestern around 8 or 9. 

It kinda depends. I'd almost rather it be the big collection of 1s from trading down to 10-12 a la the dolphins than to 6 or 7 and ending up with the 3rd best dl.

Use those extra ones to potentially package for a game changer without doing a 2019-21 era for the bears of no picks.

But if they did take anderson I think that's a good move.

Based on what top 2 picks were going for, trade down.  Get another two first this year, plus another next year.

You really can't go wrong either way, but I'd prefer a trade down as long as we're only dropping to, say, the 6-10 range.  One thing we desperately need on this team is blue chip players, but we also just need a lot more talented players in general.  By trading down only a handful of spots, you still get a high quality player while also picking up extra draft picks.

That said, if the trade up offers aren't good because teams aren't enamored with a player at #2 (unlikely because some GM is always going to get desperate for a QB when they feel their job security is on the line), then take Anderson or Carter.  In an ideal world, we shore up the 3T spot in Free Agency (Payne) and then use the early pick on an Edge rusher.

Trade down - unless the offer is weak.  It needs to be relatively substantial - multiple FRP (at least 2 FRP - including one that is still pretty high) plus multiple other picks. 

To me, I think a lot will have to do with what they're able to actually accomplish in free agency. They have a ton of money, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll fill all the key positions. 

I think if they're able to have a really strong free agent period and they look to be an impact DLmen away, I think you just get your guy in Carter or Anderson. 

 

Just watched an all 22 that focused in on Alex Leatherwood.....I'm not sure what took the Bears so long to get him on the field but man, he looked like a guy who would get drafted in the 1st round. He looks fixed. 

 

If he doesn't get every snap going forward it will be an absolute shame. If he keeps playing like he played against green Bay, he's a keeper. 

Hell yes rams!!

Yea!  I just turned it on and got to watch those 2 drives.  Incredible!   

Rams winning is absolutely HUGE for the Bears. Hell, might have to root for the Broncos to beat the Rams when they play each other in 2 weeks.

That was big.

It’s still hard for me to believe a team with a defense as good as broncos will only win 3

He had Mono and was out for a month and lost 25 pounds.

 

It wasn't until recently that he got back to playing weight and strength.

yeah I'm actually not surprised it took this long, mono has really derailed some athletes years recently. 

I am surprised how good he looked, and am excited to see how he fares these last few weeks.

The Lions scare me a lot more going forward than the Pack and Vikes. They are finishing the season really strong and they have 2 first and 2 2nd round picks next year...Including the Rams pick which should be pretty high. 

 

NFC North is gonna be veryyyyy interesting.
