Are the Cardinals going to stay at #4? They seem willing to trade the pick. They talked openly about getting calls for the pick and being willing to see where things go.

They couldn't have been more obvious - all that's left for them to say is something like, "yeah we're open for business. Let's say a hypothetical team, let's call them the "Mikings," from "Vinnesota," want to grab McCarthy, then feel free to call our toll free number."

AMAZING how boring the Bear's draft will be. No interesting trade down intrigue. its just the same old bullshit where they select a completely over-rated college quarterback from and school which has failed to develop quarterbacks in their history. Can't wait until the excuses for Williams failure as a NFL qb pour out.

The Bears appear to be pretty settled on what they’ll be doing with the first overall pick in this year’s draft, so the next few weeks are likely to center on discussion about their other first-round pick.

Chicago also has No. 9 in its control and head coach Matt Eberflus said last week that free agency has left the team able to be flexible about what “we feel fits us in that spot.” General Manager Ryan Poles said that the process of working that out will involve splitting the personnel staff up into teams to debate what direction is going to bring the Bears the most value.

“I like the numbers in terms of the talented players that can get to nine,” Poles said, via the team’s website. “We’re going to do some cool things when we get back, kind of break into teams. One team is going to talk about [why] the tackle position is the best to go after, [why] the receiver’s the best, [why] the defensive end’s the best and use factual information to spit that out — and we’ll have a debate in terms of what’s more impactful for our football team, short-term and long-term.”

Poles left the door open to trading down from No. 9 in addition to making a pick in that spot, so they’ll have to see what the teams in front of them do in addition to completing their in-house work before things get underway in Detroit this month.

it sure looks like we will get a great player at exactly the right position with #9, whether its WR or DE.

Don't come at me with a DT at 9. Maybe you do that if they trade down.

I wouldn't want Alt at #9 either. I'm not sure how long a 6'9" guy will hold up or how much he would impact the throwing lanes of a 6'1" quarterback. Besides, I prefer o-linemen with attitudes.

what if we took a time machine and just took jalen carter at 9

I'm not sure how healthy Bowers is, but if he's healthy, you should consider him in a trade down. I have a stronger opinion of him than any player who may be available at #9. He appears to love football and shouldn't be punished because Kyle Pitts doesn't.

Too little

I want to see him now he has an actual quarterback

He's LaPorta, but better.

several times better

Isn't Laporta basically top 5 TE right now?

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.
