Chicago Bears get #1 Pick!!

[Pkrjones]

Wow, crazy week 18 so far. Bears lose, Texans win giving Chicago #1 & Texans #2. Regardless of their finish Seattle gets #3 from Denver via the Wilson trade.

Chicago will probably sell #1 for a boatload of picks to a QB-needy team allowing the Bears to re-tool rapidly.

Bears "re-tool rapidly"? Guess you don't know the Bears

They'll have the draft picks from selling #1 (but traded away #33 for Claypool). Have the most cap space in the league, so will be players on day 1 of free agency. Plenty of ammo for an average GM to work with...but is Poles average?

there is no need to defend the Bears

I rarely watch college football these days. Are there any monster type super draft pick players available that the Bears might be tempted to pick?

Bears need DL's & Edge rushers. Besides the top QB's there are stud DL's (Carter, Bresee) & Edges (Anderson, Murphy & Foskey that would help them after they trade down.

Could also consider a WR early (Addison or Johnston) after a bigger trade down.

The consenus here seems to be that they're trading down then. Well, we'll see.

Bears just traded #1 to Carolina for (2) 1sts, (2) 2nds & DJ Moore. Not a bad haul but I would've thought they'd get more.

To move back 8 spots? Considering they have their QB and are stacked at WR (now) I’d say it turned out great for them!
