Trade with Bears?

[ballen]

I really think the Bears would be a good trade partner.
They have the 31st pick in the first round and the 39th in the second.
I think we should trade our first(21) and second(56) for their first and second.
This way we could still possibly land Moss, Moses or Spencer and get Nelson, Griffen or Merriweather as well. I don't see any of these guys still available at 56.
Plus the draft chart says the trade could possibly land us a 5th rounder in the deal too. What do you guys think?

[anton...]

it would be nice...

but i would also like us to move up a bit and get one of the top 3 safeties in the first or okoye...

the safety quality drops vastly after the top 3...

but D line depth goes far into the 3rd round...

we need a safety...

we need an early mid 1st rounder from someone...

perhaps packaging one of our 3rd rounders and our 1st...

i dont know...

im bored...


boobies!!!

:dance:

I stated this a couple weeks ago.....BUT instead of trading 21 and 56 we should trade 21 and 70 for both their 31 and 39.

This would give us 31, 39, 56 and our late 3rd. (Merriweather, Moses, Mebane, OT)

Also we could package those two seconds(39 and 56) to get another 1st rounder.
This way we can get Moss(maybe even Anderson), Merriweather or Griffin and a Tackle in the 3rd.

[ballen]

That's the point. I think one of the safeties will still be there at 39. Probably Merriweather or Griffen. If there is only one left when we pick at 31 then we can just take the safety at that point, and still pick 8 spots later.

That would be great but the points don't add up. 21 and 70 don't equal 31 and 39.

yeah it's close, but i doubt they go for it. 21 and 70=1040pts and 31 and 39=1110pts.

plus i think they are still thinking about trading briggs and 31 to wash for #6 aren't they?

if it did work that would be great. if we could get griffin or meriweather adn then (dreaming) spencer i would cry for joy.

i sure hope not...

the last thing anyone needs is for the bears to improve their D...

I don't really think so. If they do, it would only be to trade down from 6(which would be smart). The Bears don't want to pay what it would take at the 6th pick. They rarely pick that high. They usually trade down even when in that position(exept Cedrick Benson)

[Shawshank24]

true. i can't believe they wouldn't do that.

they can get rid of a disgruntled player, and then pick up a nice first day pick or two to trade back down. if it was me, it's a no brainer. briggs is good, but replaceable.

It's the Bears' front office we're talking about! He's not Redskins GM Vinny Cerrato interviewing JaMarcus Russell when he already has Jason Campbell developing!

As for the trade with us, this doesn't sound bad at all! Other than the fact that we might have to give up a player or our sixth-round pick.

I don't get it either.. If Briggs was so valuable to them, why wouldn't they just extend his contract? I don't really think Briggs is that replaceable because great Weak side linebackers aren't something you see every day.

[broncolee]

Shanahan wants at least one impact player and that is accomplished by moving up not down. Perhaps he would move down if the players he covets are taken by the time he gets to pick, but he's probably going to at least try to move up. :salute:

But, for the Bears, trading with the Broncos for the #21 pick may be helpful in their trade talks with the Redskins. Supposedly the Bears want a LB and the #6 pick from the Skins. Maybe the Skins would be more amenable to that scenario if it meant getting a higher pick than the #31 pick.

[SBboundBRONCOS]

the bears are the cheapest team out their and also the stingiest. if they have something you want they are going to nickle and dime you for it even though its not worth it. even though im from chicago that is why i hate the bears. and also briggs is an excellent player and very young. 3rd season and 2 probowls. i watch them every sunday and i think that brigs makes more plays than urlacher, but if hes not gonna play get what you can for him. also i agree if they do acquire #6 all they would do is trade that one away also.

from what i've read, the redskins made that offer to the bears. it's held up on the bears end.

and yet, look what we're doing with dj williams :offtopic:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2823964 The Redskins did not offer a LB along with the #6 pick. They wanted to simply swap picks plus get Briggs. If the Bears had a higher first round pick, maybe they can convince the Skins to make the deal. I wouldn't bet on the Broncos being the team to help the Bears out though. It simpy does not make sense for Shanahan to move down, unless there's nothing for him at #21, which there will be. :salute:

Well they would be losing Briggs in that trade to make it to 6th. He's a very strong part of their D. And I don't think we'll be able to to grab Griffin or Nelson at 31. We need to stay at 21 or move up.

[SteelBronco]

I think that would be great, #31 overall and 2 second rounders plus 1 third. :salute:
