Bears trade for Claypool

[mecha]

so what's the problem here? why is @Tillman33 so mad?

Claypool is easily a better WR then Robby.

Anderson has 2 seasons better than Claypool’s best, in terms of yards. I think claypool is better but really not by much. And definitely not for the price tag.

Claypool also allows you to use VJJ more. Have Mooney and Claypool threatening intermediate and deep means you can have VJJ as the checkdown and let him use his YAC ability.

Because I don’t want this bum in Chicago when they could have had someone way better

300 posts to catch up on. i look forward to catching up later on the same posters who were totally against overpaying for a WR and against drafting a locker room cancer, be completely on board with overpaying for a locker room cancer.

I’m good with it btw.

Robbie Anderson is 29. You make deals for future production not past.

Looks like Poles traded Quinn to saw if Smith really is that guy and he was not in that Cowboys game(cry baby and owned by pollard). So Poles traded Smith also and brought WR back because without those WRs errors Bears should had won Cowboys 50-49.

Also I have Claypool in fantasy and he needed to go to the packers

Whom ever did you have in mind. Should have relayed that to Poles. It’s your fault for this mess

I'll save you some time. Very few people are complaining about it outright. Some saying that we gave up too much, most saying maybe we gave up too much but it could work out.

Imagine if our 1st is top 5, and Poles can squeeze someone desperate for a C.J. Stroud or Bryce Young and secure a couple more 1sts to move down to the middle 1st. That 2nd rounder will be a distant afterthought at that point.

That’s how Ryan Pace used to think and it’s the wrong mentality. Those deals are separate from each other.

 

[Raskolnikov]

Said I would prefer a 4th round pick but now that we had the extra 2nd then this is fine.

Too expensive.

Pathetic

Do the Bears have the best collection of really good blocking WR's in NFL history now? Lol

True. I still think the deal for Claypool was worth it in total isolation, not saying that having a high 1st makes it acceptable or anything.

Having the second 2nd rounder, even if it'll be later than ours, made this possible. I doubt Poles would have pulled the trigger if not for that, but I obviously have no way of knowing that for sure.

Way to take a stance Fattytime23

I am thrilled Poles did this for so many reasons.

He said in the offseason, he believes a QB needs a big go up and get it guy he can rely on when things break down.

He got Justin one instead of waiting another half of season. One that has enough time to ball out in Chicago, while he earns himself a new/big contract.

It shows he realizes the cost for a starting WR has significantly increased over the past few years. And didn’t want to risk his acquisition of a wr on just a draft pick in case the pick doesn’t turn out.

Poles still may use an early round on a WR, but at least we know Claypool can play.

Finally, Poles got fields a legit weapon. I’m pumped.

I would also like to add, this gives Fields some confidence in his GM that they want what’s best for him.

These guys are human too. All Fields knows is winning football. All of this losing in a rebuild year is probably very difficult to deal with for Fields.

Seeing his GM go out and take a risk by trading away a 2nd rd pick for a WR that is perfect for his style of play must feel good.
