Well, let's review: We lost Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Deonte Harty, and Trent Sherfield. We gained Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel, and Mack Hollins. We also have Justin Shorter ready to roll off Red Shirt. In my eyes, Coleman replaces Davis, Samuel replaces Harty, and Hollins replaces Sherfield. However, if Beane is to be believed, he feels Coleman is a #1 right out of the gate. That's lofty expectations for a Rookie - so I'll believe that's their plan when I see it. If they plan on using Samuel as an exclusively Outside WR (which would also be surprising), I suppose he could replace Davis and Coleman replaces Diggs. With Shakir and Kincaid working the middle of the field. That's not as unequipped as everyone likes to think it is. Though I'd be surprised if we didn't add someone - at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. I think they want all 4 of those guys to get as much opportunities as possible. Especially Coleman, Kincaid, and Shakir. Adding someone else would take away from them and I could see a scenario where he doesn't want that.

Good news for you - we didn't Double Down and only addressed 1 of our 2 major holes at WR. So now you can obsess over big name trades all off season and ignore realistic options for posts like "Jamarr Chase - Who would say no to this trade?"

Haha - that was my thought too. When a random International player that was there walked out, I lol'ed.

If you were looking for a Big True X and you had concerns with Mitchell (as we clearly did) - it was Coleman and then Polk. Considering Polk was taken at 37 (higher than expected) - if we didn't take Coleman at 33 he would have went by 37, if not higher.

Or maybe you shouldn't have set your expectations so *RIDICULOUSLY* high. We took the guy both the brass and Josh wanted. I'm sorry that it wasn't one of the guys you wanted.

INCREDIBLE story!

Gabe Hall still available. That's a surprise to me. Would be a good grab at this point. As is Brendan Rice. At this point, we're just getting a jump on UDFA's.

Damn there goes Joe Milton. At this point, I thought he'd be a good grab as a PS player to develop as potentially a long term backup to Josh.

He wasn't taken until Day 3. EVERY team in the league passed on him multiple times. There were more flaws on the tape then his fans wanted to admit. He had quite possibly the worst Combine I've ever seen. And then he reportedly bombed in interviews with teams questioning his love of the game and desire to work to be great. We did a lot of work on him. We interviewed him at the Combine. We had him do a private workout for us. It's clear that he simply didn't pass the tests and it wasn't for a lack of trying on our part and we obviously weren't the only ones that felt that way.

What did we get in the Trade Down?

Javon Solomon is really good value here.

Trade down!

Lol at thinking a WR left at the bottom of the 5th is an "Alpha".

Damn! OT Christian Jones goes right before our pick. I had us taking him with our first 5th and would have loved to have gotten him with our last.

You know we took a WR at 33, right? The "Double Down" was never a given. We lost 4 WR's, signed 2, and Drafted one. We have Shorter coming off his red shirt year. And probably are going back to the veteran market (maybe).

Again, anyone we're taking here has a Year 1 ceiling as either playing Justin Shorter off the roster or more likely being this year's Justin Shorter as a Red Shirt Rookie. I don't understand your urgency to fill the last WR roster spot with a Late Day 3 Pick.

I mean, if Spencer Rattler wasn't taken until just now - I'm not surprised Milton is still available. I had Milton as a 6th Rounder before Rattler dropped.

Kaiir Elan switched to #5 earlier in the Offseason.

Said it once, I'll say it a million times - we've replaced one of Diggs or Davis with Coleman, replaced Harty with Samuel, and replaced Sherfield with Hollins. We still have Khalil Shakir and drafted Justin Shorter with a 5th last year that will probably be on the 53. Anyone we take on Day 3 isn't replacing Diggs or Davis. At most, they'd play Shorter off the bottom of the roster - essentially throwing last year's 5th into the fire. There's probably only one WR spot open, if we're keeping more than 5. And with what's left and who's left, a vet with our 6/1 money is going to provide MUCH more than a Day 3 Rookie in Year 1.

Chicago's 4th in 2025. Very solid return. Could be a high 4th.

Yeah, NFL Network covered it well. ESPN is fine for Day 1 and Day 2, but they're awful on Day 3.

And keeping with the theme of people trading into our picks for guys I like - Chicago takes the highest rated player left on my board 😂

It is a 4th next year

Hey! Picked up another 4th next year! Nice

Great pick! I forgot he was still on the board.
