Bears should have taken the top receiver on their board.

[playthrough2001]

They selected two excellent DBs that start day 1 but we’re bitching. I like getting guys that can play. Do I want more help for Fields, yes but I want the best players period.

People actually believe guys pick the “best player available”? Lol. They needed secondary help badly.

You realize that’s just something guys say so they can’t be accused of reaching? Of course it’s a balance between the best player and what you need. There is also importance of position, etc. lol at just thinking these guys have some positionless board they’re going down and just taking the next guy. If that was the case why hasn’t the San Diego St punter been taken yet? He’s basically a lock to be a pro bowl punter. He’s probably the best player available right now. Poles should trade up and get him. He should have went top 10. He’s arguably been the BPA for 40 something thing picks now, if not more.

They should just listen to you right?

No. They could have started the run on wr. Also a position of need. They took a safety. If no wr's were picked until the Bears next pick it wouldn't have mattered. As it stands right now the Bears can still take the next safety off the board if they want.

And good GMs know how to play the draft board.

And good GMs don’t reach for need…

I'm not bitching. They got good players. But which one of the wr that went right after the Bears picked would not start day 1 on this team?

How is it a reach when 4 wr literally went right after the Bears picked?

They would only start if we go 3 wide. And that’s a maybe…

at this point does it really matter if you get the 13th wr off the board now or the 20th later?

I understand the position is deep this draft. But the position as a whole feels extremely overvalued right now. I get it’s the rule changes and emphasis on the passing game and all that. A lot of these guys look rail thin for football players. No wonder they’re ruining such fast 40’s. They don’t have to keep the weight to survive they used to. I’m going off on a bit of a rant here. But it looks like we’re in the middle of this huge overvaluing of wr’s. The postion looks like it’s becoming easier to play. I’m not sure getting in the middle of this wr bubble is the best thing. I also get that they need wr‘s. All my bs I just posted is great and all but they need somebody other than Mooney. I get it. I’m just not sure jumping in the mosh pit and doing things like using their second round pick on thr 14th wr is the best move. Idk though.

Why does that matter?

 

[Midwaymonster75]

The other teams draft picks says the Bears messed up.

ONe of the dumbest things ive heard on here and thats saying a lot.

They obviously drafted guys they ranked as better players. They needed a second outside corner and a safety. Both of these guys will start day 1. Brisker is a beast that plays hard and smart. Gordon is a guy I mentioned this morning as a good get if available.

There are still good players available.

I hope safety isn't the best player available on their board for the rest of the rounds.

any of those 4 WRs would have instantly become the #2 WR behind Mooney. WRs be coming in and lighting shit up as rookies now

I think they go o line or WR next. So it will be Winfrey

But what if safety is the best player on their board? Wouldn't want to reach a spot or two.

Would everyone be happier with one of the 4 wr taken after the Bears 48th pick and best safety at 71 or everybody happier with this?

I’d be happier if you stop acting like you know exactly how all these players will turn out…

You’re right… But not everyone understands game theory. No point in arguing.

 

[EDPeezy]

You’re right… But not everyone understands game theory. No point in arguing.

explain to me why it would have been the correct move through game theory.

I have a hard time believing a run of players which often results in teams reaching for need because of the psychological fear of not being able to get a guy at the position correlates with correct game theory.

I also have a hard time believing the huge run early on WR’s didn’t kill the value of the position. There had already been 9 taken at that point. But correct game theory would have been to take one because there was a run afterwards? The position is so obviously overvalued as a whole right now.
