Bears trade for Claypool

[WestCoastBearsFan]

So you panicked after not addressing WR all off season and essentially swapped Roquan and Claypool?

 

[dabears70]

Basically Quan for Claypool and a 5th. I would take it.

That's if it's the Balt 2nd

 

[Tillman33]

Now they will extend this loser 5 years book it

 

[msadows]

average at best receiver lmao

Hard to tell what he is. World of talent tho and he can be used like a BIG flex TE which is what we need considering kmet is cold cement.

He had to play with a rookie, mitch, and the corpse of big ben the last few years

Meh, Claypool is not worth a 2nd round pick. He's not that good. Jerry Jeudy would have made me excited.

 

[remydat]

That's a tough one for me because a 2nd round pick is most times a day one starter. Hopefully it's the Balt pick.

Claypool is a day 1 starter and will be 25 next year.

 

[dabears70]

Second is too high, but if he comes with a good attitude the upside is there.

I agree. As of right now it's too high IMO but if the rumors of character issues are wrong or he comes in and changes them and gets his hands right then he's worth the 2nd, if it's the Balt 2nd.

Claypool will love playing with Fields IMO. Ideal WR for what Fields likes to do.

Claypool is a day 1 starter and will be 25 next year.

It also gives you half a season to better evaluate fields and the entire rest of the offense.

This great news to come out of my meeting with. I mentioned yesterday that I would not be surprised if they flipped the pick for a player. Love me some Poles.

So they don’t use a 2nd rounder on a clear elite talent like Pickens, but turn around and burn it on a much less talented, oft injured, inconsistent primadona. Claypool isn’t worth a 2nd on his best day

Day one starter with issues and one year left on his deal. Big difference wouldn't you say?

It was also let kmet to not having to keep doing the things he doesnt do well.

 

[Chicago4Life]

great pick up by poles, especially getting claypool with baltimore's 2nd rd pick

 

[WestCoastBearsFan]

Why not just wait until the off season? Prices will go down and you’re not contending for shit

While I love pickens he hasn't done anything in the NFL yet to prove he's an elite talent. Could be one day, that day isn't here yet....

They’re not evaluating…. They’ve seen enough or they don’t make this move. Fields is the franchise.

They will definitely be trading down now.

Because he's actually trying to develop fields?

Derp?

They see fields is making progress with trash around him. They want that progress to continue. If fields performs well the rest of the season it will be much easier to talk FA's into coming here next offseason....

 

[Pretzel Logic]

Interesting given his size and his matchup, not only a good fit for Fields, but good fit for this O.
