Trade Suggestion from NFL.com Giants/Bears

A second 1st next year is huge.

I'd want an additional pick. Maybe a 2021 fourth.

But that pick could be useful if Jones takes a huge step back and we need ammo to move up for a QB. It also would be nice just to have CHI first. Probably going to be a good pick with their QB situation.

Could very well be a top 10 pick.

Maybe instead of the 3rd they’d change it a 2nd for our 4th?

I'd do that in a heartbeat as well. There will still be talent available at 20 that fits our needs (edge, LB, OL, WR).

If one of the 5 top QB prospect falls to 11 and the Bears like the prospect. I doubt it will happen though.

In a heartbeat

Kadarius Toney baby!

would be a phenomenal trade for the Giants, and yet some people still want more. And maybe that's why we never trade down. We always ask for too much.

At #20, I'd hope for Jamin Davis, but given his pro day, he may go top #15.

.

... Yes!

YOu're right. I take back my ask. I thought the Mahomes trade was more than it was. Similar trade. 2 1sts and a 3rd. So it's legit. My bad.

But how many teams need a QB between us them?

There’s gonna be great value at #20, home run trade scenario

Pitts could be boom/bust and I worry that the Bama WRs are injuries waiting to happen. The first round appears to be deep with quality players. At twenty, a solid pick will be there: Bateman or Marshall at WR; Phillips, Paye or Rousseau at edge; Collins or JOK at LB; Darrisaw or Vera-Tucker at OT. Also might see someone like Parsons or Slater fall which is a possibility if there is a run on edge rushers and WRs.

Giants deserve a lot of credit in positioning themselves to shop while "not being hungry" in this draft. The free agent moves have fleshed out the roster so they can focus not only on best player available with each pick, but be ready to seize advantageous trade opportunities.

Good chance the Bears first rounder next year is a top 5 pick.

The first next year is too much to pass up.

yep. Gotta be honest, I don't think that's a trade you can turn down even if Smith or Pitts is on the board. The chance to get a future first from a mediocre team with a coach on the hot seat doesn't come around often. Look at how BOB set the Dolphins up.

Take the deal and take the best player on the board. That's the flexibility they gained in signing Golladay and Ross.

If Jones goes 3 to SF, the only trade that makes sense for the Bears, giving up that much, is to trade to 4 to get Fields. There's not going to be a franchise QB available at 11. If they can't get to 4, sit tight and reach on Trask. That's a terrible trade for the Bears.

Not high on most of the guys who are being mentioned at #11 anyway, and getting an extra 3rd this year and a 1st next year is a massive gain.

They would still get a decent player at #20, and maybe somebody who would be a better fit anyway.

I think they like Edge for the 1st round pick and Ojulari would be good value and then picking up the extra 3rd is a great place to look for RB.

I like it

What about the North Dakota State kid?

But I'd probably do that trade

You think Matt Jones is a franchise QB. He is a gigantic overreach at #3. Fields or Lance could be at #11. Everyone thinks they are great

No...but that's who every mock has SF taking. I think Fields is the 2nd best QB in this draft. I also think Carolina trades out of 8 or takes the 5th QB. I don't think there's any chance one of the top 5 QB makes to 11. If not, no chance the Bears consider this trade.

Also, if Fields is available at 11...the Giants should take him.

I might prefer a 2021 2nd-rounder to a 2022 first — the 2nd round is loaded this year — but given how wacky this draft year is, maybe not.

The Bears' 2022 1st-rounder could be almost anywhere in the round. They'd be betting on themselves to have a great season. Big risk.

Yeah I see that. SF should take Fields, not Jones. Matt Jones is Christian Ponderish...

And No the Giants shouldn't take Fields at #11.

Mac Jones. Fields at 11 would be incredible luck for the Giants, whether they take him (which I think they should), or use him being there to trade out of the spot.

K.C. traded the No. 27 overall pick, a third-round pick and their 2018 first-round selection to the Buffalo Bills to move up to No. 10 to select Mahomes.

If the bears think their QB is at 11, and it could happen, they would offer something similar.

It is a trade I would take.

I agree.

This is an organization that traded up to select Trubisky. Yes, they can be that dumb. Desperate to add a QB and this GM will take the risk.

would do that

Take that and run. That's why we had the FA we did. Options.

picking at 11, if a scenario like that presents itself, you should take it the vast majority of the time.

Great value and you still have a pick to fill a hole.

the quality of the player you would give up against the hole(s) you are filling. For me, the gasp between the top 4 pass-catchers and the rest would be too large and you miss the chance to be transformative to do some patchwork and plugging. OTOH, if the pass-catchers are gone or you're dead-set on picking defense of OG, then you trade down in a nanosecond because your OG is an OG is an OG and the same can be said for edges.

Unlikely Gettleman would do his successor that favor, but I sure would. 😉

Damn good deal ... 40 second nark

The value gap between #11 and #20 is 400-500 points, depending on which chart you use. An average 2022 first-round pick is worth roughly that much, so the chart would say you’re getting #83 this year as a bonus. IIRC, the Bears don’t have a fourth-round pick, which might account for part of the high price.

Of course, the chart matters less than the actual players available at #11, but it provides a useful sanity check.

FWIW, the full-round discount on future picks seems kind of steep for current circumstances. By 2022, teams should have a fuller complement of data to support their draft decisions.

no idea why Chicago would though

exactly. this is a corollary to the Dick Young "fair trade" adage using draft picks instead of players

but the only way it happens, as someone already said, is if one of Fields or Lance falls to 11.

Then DG has to make sure he doesnt start laughing until the Bears hang up the phone.

Gettleman has shown to forget to answer his cellphone on draft day.

I think I'd rather have the 3rd and keep our 4th than to have to give up our 4th for another 2nd. I do understand the allure of picking up another 2nd but I personally would prefer to pick up an additional pick rather than just improve the quality of one of our picks we have but keep the overall quantity the same.

Simply put, with so much uncertainty in this draft, I'd rather have five guys in the first four rounds than four guys in the first three.

say yes to that trade. A lot of edge talent should be available with pick #20 and then you have a great shot at top 10 or 15 pick in 2022

I'd make the trade down and go Edge.

Mitchell Trubisky, Nick Foles, Andy Dalton, and the entire Raiders organization disagree.
