The better the Bears are this year and next, the better the Khalil Mack trade looks (obviously). So far, this is working out to be essentially a best-case-scenario.
With the Raiders in clear "blow it up and start over" mode - the'll likely be a bottom 5 team again next year. Let's imagine that happens, and the Bears are again a top 5 time (again, seems likely). The Khalil Mack trade is going to become:
Bears Give:
- 2019 pick #28
- 2019 pick #214 (6th rounder)
- 2020 pick #28
- 2020 pick #96 (3rd rounder)
Oakland Gives:
- Khalil Mack for the prime of his career
- 2020 pick #37 (2nd rounder)
- 2020 pick #142 (5th rounder)
Using a draft value calculator, the draft picks by themselves come out to:
Bears Give Value: 1422.8
Raiders Give Value: 565
So with that normalized, the Bears got Khalil Mack in exchange for 857.8 worth of draft pick value. That's the equivalent of the #20 pick of the first round.
Would you trade the #20 pick for Khalil Mack? No-brainer - this trade just looks better and better.
