Pretty much everyone thought Pace/Nagy should have been fired except the people in power to actually do it. Then there is all this speculation and secrecy surrounding Pace's contract. Idk what to think anymore. I agree though, if McCaskey's were committed to Pace, they shouldn't hamstring him, but I get the hesitation from ownership to give up future firsts. Pace signed Glennon, didnt' work. Drafted Trubisky, didn't work. Traded for Foles, didn't work. And has now asked ownership to sign Dalton well above market value. Why should they allow him to give up a bunch of picks for the 4th best QB?
I would hope they discussed this and Pace had a plan going into the offseason that didn't include trading up into the top 5. That's why the McCaskey's could say fuck off, figure it out. That's not the strategy you presented.
Personally, if Fields is there at 4 on draft day, I wouldn't be upset if they made the move. If it's for Mac Jones, then meh.
