Let's say Bears trade down with Colts to #6. One of the big 3 qb's* is on the board and the Saints call Poles...

[Applefan]

*Young,Stroud or Levis is on the at #6 in round 1. The Bears have acquired from Colts this years #1(#6), 2nd(#37) and 2nd and 3rd round picks next year.

Okay, so Poles gets a call from Mickey Loomis of the Saints offering this year's 2nd(#40), WR Michael Thomas TE/QB Taysom Hill and 1st round pick next year for Bears 1st(#6) and 5th(#129). Should Poles hang up the phone in a laughing fit or consider this. Hill, while 33 in August still runs about 4.4 and could be used all over the field. Thomas, has been injured often and isn't an explosive receiver, but he's consistent. It would probably mean taking on between $25 million or more combined in salary, but does this upgrade Fields weapons?

 

[msadows]

Yes, we should 100% go from having a top 2 pick to no first round pick.

Sign me up sir

 

[KingInTheNorth]

I would do it if they threw in Sean Payton

 

[rawdawg]

With all due respect, this is the worst idea ever

LOL I see meth is in somebody's Christmas traditions...

Both of those trades are bad. You're trading down from #2 to #6 and not getting an additional first rounder in compensation, then you're trading #6 away for aging veterans, a mid second round pick, and a first round pick next year that might not even be in the top half of the first round.

 

[playthrough2001]

Replace Thomas with Chris Olave and I’m at least willing to listen.

Too much thought went into this. Much too much.

However, I love the idea and target zones.

Yes sir, trade down twice if that happens.

If we bump for a QB at #2, and the #3 QB is still available at #6…

Fucking hell yeah that’s how championship foundations are laid. You take your Hershel Walker deal and start churning compensatory picks.

Next thing you know you got 53 studs and trade partners keep calling.

This is so bad im finding it hard to believe that this is anything but a joke.

I agree that trading down to a team desperate to trade up for a QB is good. It's just that those specific trades OP proposed didn't have adequate compensation for the picks.

 

[HearshotKDS]

I would be open to something similar to this, but not for Hill and Thomas.

Agreed.

Some real brain addled shit there.

Despite that it was a decent conversation foundation and had some vision and like this guy really thought about this and the structure of how this goes down.

Like you I’m expecting 4 firsts in that parlay as the foundation with other goodies, and the players he mentioned would be like a favor to them to throw in.

Michael Thomas can no longer outplay Harry and Claypool

No. Tell them to fuck off and keep fucking off.

Thomas is a volume receiver. He isn’t what we need since he is always fucking injured. No way.

Taysom? We need a true Move TE. He’s like a gadget.

If they call, put your picks on the table or get the fuck out. This year’s first, next years, and they’re 2nd and 3rd for me to keep listening. They can keep their Syphilis.

 

[Raskolnikov]

Lol…at lightning and Thunder at the QB position though.

I just don’t get why Tebow wouldn’t allow himself to be treated like Taysom Hill to stay in the league.

Who the fuck would want Mr. Injured and a guy that can’t play TE not play QB? Did you think this thru??

Now would be a good time to delete this post and just apologize to everyone that had to read this. When you have the #2 pick in a QB draft and don’t come out of it with multiple 1st rounders bet yet somehow take on 2 very bad contracts, you should be thrown off of a building (not really).

 

[baselman1974]

First of all Poles is getting fucked if he doesn’t get at least a 1st rounder next year or Buckner from the Colts with that package you are suggesting. Second why get no 1st rounder this year?

I would rather trade with Seattle and get 2 1sts this year.

I have to disagree, this is worse than the worst by a long shot.
