Is that Pace's grand scheme? Is he trying to make the Bears' GM position so unappealing that the Bears would be stuck with either Pace or someone from the Bears Forum?

Patriots upgrades: too many to count
Every other team’s upgrades: too many to count

I figured that Pace would go all out to get a top QB to save his job and Nagy's. Never dreamed of him signing Noodle Ginger with Foles on the roster.

You're going to have to do a lot better than that.

Last time a team traded into the top ten was 2019. Pittsburgh gave Denver twentieth overall, fifty-second overall and a third rounder the next year. Bears are moving up four more spots, but then again a future first is worth more than a second and a third. There's a statue of Foles outside their stadium, I know they are all about Jalen Hurts publicly but if there's one place Nick Foles would feel at home...

I think Mac Jones will be better than a lot of people realize

I didn’t, but I expected 1 major trade, ideally for a QB, something to wake up a hibernating fan base..even Wentz would have been better than this

Damn right. As a bonus it appears he is also a workout warrior.

I tend to like Mac Jones a lot too, but its basically impossible to evaluate college quarterbacks and have it be anything more than throwing darts.

So if Wilson and Watson were unavailable. What options were there? They tried with Wentz, he didn't want to come here. Thats out of their control

Here's how it's going down...
1st round - Bears trade up to #12....for a WR.
2nd round- Bears sit tight and select Kyle Trask at #52.
The remaining draft picks will be used on defensive players and in the 6th Chicago finally drafts an OT who will never see playing time until 2023 for another organization.
Dalton "wins" the starting gig over Foles who ends up starting by week 6 because Dalton sucks. Foles will subsequently fail miserably and by week 12 Dalton will retain the starting job while the entire fanbase continues to scream for Trask to start the rest of the season. In week 15 it happens...Nagy brings in his "promising" rookie who completes a couple bubble screens and is handed the job the rest of a lost season. Dalton and Foles get richer. Bears fans contemplate mass suicide while Nagy and Pace get one more year with Trask as the day 1 starter.
It's like I've watched this movie a few hundred times.

They reportedly didn't even really try with Wentz.

options: use 10 million to increase offer to Trent Williams to secure him, and then use the rest to get additional oline help. Start Foles with actual blocking and then in the draft trade up for one of the top 5 qb prospects to sell to the fans.
by securing Trent Williams and letting Trubisky walk you also keep the russel Wilson talk alive in case things develop differently. Or maybe even Watson who knows? Darnold maybe to give to Seahawks next year after the dead cap hit is gone?
sometimes the best move is no move. But I don’t expect this certified idiot of a gm to understand that.
