This also disintegrates one of my proposed trade back partners in the Panthers, but I could see Chicago moving up for someone in late 1st/early 2nd range… with their extra capital it’s not a significant hit if they have their eyes on a player (Robinson is my guess) Ya he's the only QB that sticks out to me as being worth giving up that capital for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo1105 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) I don’t think the Bears got enough to be honest. Was DJ Moore valued as a 1st rounder must have been based on what they got Its basically a first, 2 seconds, 2 thirds and DJ Moore who was either valued as a first or 2nd round pick Edited March 10, 2023 by gonzo1105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great deal for the Bears! The 1st next year is valued as a 2nd this year and the 2nd in 2025 is valued as a 4th. If those two picks were the 1st pick in each round that's 696 points, let's round it to 700 for ease. Difference between 1st overall pick and the 9th is 1,650. That means DJ Moore is valued as the 17th overall pick in the draft(950 points). 9 minutes ago, Chicken Boo said: Edited March 10, 2023 by LOVEMESOMEBILLS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 22 minutes ago, Success said: I have no idea how to gauge trade value. Would it have cost them much more to get Lamar Jackson? Yes. Because Lamar wants 250 million guaranteed. Whichever QB the Panthers draft will be under the rookie Salary Cap for 5 years. This will be less than 40 million for the first 4 years total. Fifth year option is probably 25 million. So 250 million - 65 million - 185 million the panthers save by not going after Lamar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Fan in MD Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Well I guess I was wrong in saying that the Texans screwed up by winning their last game and dropping to No. 2 as they won't get their top pick of QB after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing that spending a lot of money is shows that they are “contenders” lol, this ranks right up there with the Browns stupidity…, I think it shows teams are interested in having a middle level talent at QB for five years at rookie prices. With the idea they build around him (like 3 of the final 4 did this year, the eagle, bengals and niners did this year) and maybe even catch a QB for the future worth paying (which seems to be the case for Burrows and Hurts).

RG Murdock Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 This ONLY makes sense if Justin Fields is the real deal, which is not a sure thing at this point. Nice haul though...... As we have learned first hand in Buffalo, In the NFL, the QB is EVERYTHING! You get very, very few shots at ever having the overall #1 pick..... Like Vince Lombardi famously said back in the 60's- "The NFL is the worlds greatest sport, but is has one very big flaw, the QB is far too critical Vs. the rest of the players"....

There’s some really nice things I like about Bryce Young but he’s just so small that I worry about how his game translates. Anthony Richardson is a really nice project, but not someone I’d feel good about spending a ton of draft capital on. And Will Levis, God bless him, I just don’t feel it. Same. If I’m the colts, I’d take Stroud. I like young but I wouldn’t risk the franchise future on a QB his size. Some of you guys would really take Richardson #1 overall? I mean, I love the god given talent but I’d rather draft LeBron James and teach him how to play QB. Richardson might be a slightly better runner atm, but Lebron is definitely a better passer at this point.

BADOLBILZ Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Virgil said: If you think that DJ Moore is worth a late first round pick, then it’s fair. I don’t think Moore would fetch a late first round pick, so it seems like the Panthers paid under value. With so many teams wanting a QB, I expected more competition. DJ Moore has had as good of a 5 year start to his career as Stefon Diggs(less TD's but more 1,000 yard seasons and yards) and Diggs brought more than a late first in a draft that everyone knew was full of WR1's. I think Moore would have brought a first rounder for sure. I agree with your general point though.........it's probably more value than the 49ers traded to move up 9 spots from #12 to #3 to get Trey Lance because 2 of those 1st rounders are late and Carolina could conceivably still be drafting top 15 next season...........but that #1 overall usually brings a premium. To make a deal this early I would have expected the Bears to be blown away. It isn't quite THAT, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not much of a Fields fan, definitely not a big believer, but I think it's the right move to stick with him now and build around him as best they can. And this move supports that greatly. There just isnt a Luck/Manning/Elway guy in this draft. If there were, then I'd say they must pick him - and they probably would. There isnt even a Bosa/Bruce DE, or amazing LT they can pick. Trading down is the right move here, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
