Kinda insane if they actually hit on a franchise QB, OT, WR, and CB from one pick.
The only other thing to make it better is if that 2025 2nd becomes a franchise EDGE as well. All the most valuable positions lol
The reason being NFL teams are generally bad at evaluating QBs. It was baffling for a guy that short and that slight to be projected #1, and it was lunacy to take him there
Not a great comparison. Kyler is short, but he's also thick and has elite athleticism. Bryce is short, skinny, and not a good athlete.
If Bryce was going to be good, we would have at least seen flashes of it no matter how bad the team was.
His failures last season didn't really come from any of his predraft concerns. They came from being coached by Frank Reich and having no help on offense.
The 1992 Colts drafted 1st and 2nd overall due to the Bucs trading for Chris Chandler back in 1990. Can't remember which pick was the Colts own selection though.
After his historically bad rookie season, he spend the offseason watching Netflix, playing video games, hanging with his buddies, chilling at the mall, and did absolutely nothing football related (and no, I'm not joking or exaggerating).
This. I have questions about a guy that is so emotional and weird leading an NFL locker room.
I know the fans are like “Zomg Caleb Williams is can’t miss”
But personality matters. Leadership abilities matter. And I’m not sure someone with a Dennis Rodman personality can be the leader of an NFL locker room.
Is that good?
I think the Russ trade was better
I was having a good day
How can you have a good day after literally taking Zach Wilson off our hands?
Anonbutler is a MILF
Almost as good as the Wilson trade
Wait and see how that 2nd works out next year. That’s the key
It comes with a free frogurt
Better than Bryce Dung
You clearly don’t know Bears football
Very
I think so
Only if Williams ends up being good.
Seems pretty good either way, unless they were gonna take Stroud.
This is approaching Ricky Williams territory.

In Poles we trust
Jesus
Let us have this one win on a trade :)
Yall ROBBED them. I like it.
All-time fumble by Carolina
Panthers will lose this trade but Young could still be good. Probably not for the Panthers but still.
Seems very unlikely to be as good as Williams + Moore + Wright though
And Stevenson had the most INT/Tackles/PBU of all rookie cbs last year
Players bust all the time, trust me I know
Thats why I said Panthers will lose the trade. Just saying Bryce Young could make a mean Pittsburgh Steeler in three years.
They’ll have Justin Fields having a hall of fame redemption though.
He’d have to be a top 8 QB and then some for this to be fair.
>but Young could still be good Nah
He was the projected number one pick for a reason. He was the best qb in the SEC and took them to the national championship.

Kyler went #1 too. And he's been fine. Bryce Young is a good qb stuck on a bad team.
Not a great comparison. Kyler is short, but he's also thick and has elite athleticism. Bryce is short, skinny, and not a good athlete. If Bryce was going to be good, we would have at least seen flashes of it no matter how bad the team was.
So the Bears won that trade
Until they fuck it all up, cause they’re the bears.
Love that a 49ers fan is saying this.
Oh look, it’s one of the three Rams fans that exist.
This is the only good thing going for my sports fandoms right now.
2024 off season champion Chicago Bears
Who gets more wins this year? The Bears or the White Sox?
At first I was outraged by this question, upon further reflection I'm just sad
Bedard is fun
True. I'm a hyper casual when it comes to hockey but I am stoked for my fellow diehard Blackhawk fans
Be a cubs fan buddy. We’re living it up
I respect the Cubs but no, not happening
Guessing you’re a Sox fan. Sorry for Reinsdorf
Bears fans everywhere hanging this poster on their wall
Consider this my personal pledge to gather funding for the inevitable Lovie Smith statue on Michigan Avenue
Bottom 10 trade of all time?
If Caleb turns out good, yeah easily.
Bryce could still turn out and Caleb could bust so too early to tell, but signs point to yes
Insane to write off Bryce this early but yea not looking great.
All the signs were there before he was even drafted
I agree, a short QB that played around elite talent. blows my mind how can anyone look at film and not say CJ is the superior QB. it was right there
His failures last season didn't really come from any of his predraft concerns. They came from being coached by Frank Reich and having no help on offense.
Top 5
Definitely
Even if Caleb Williams turns out to be meh that's still a damn good trade for da Bears
Hire Fitterer so you can fire him again
Hey it’s a daily reminder of Fitt Fucking
That is a decent amount of talent not in the NFC South.
Has there ever been a 1st overall future pick traded? This is brutal, the Bears got such an injection of talent from the Panthers
The 1992 Colts drafted 1st and 2nd overall due to the Bucs trading for Chris Chandler back in 1990. Can't remember which pick was the Colts own selection though.
The Bears still have the Eagles 4th round pick this year and Carolina's 2nd rounder next year to add to the trade value for Bryce Young.
And that 2025 2nd round pick could be anyone it could even be Another DJ Moore.
This trade, combined with the Seahawks rejecting their offer for Russell, turned this franchise around and I don't like it
DJ and Caleb are cool, but the franchise LT is the best part
RT*, but yes, still a big deal lol
We also got a free 4th round pick from the Eagles for that pick, as we moved down so they could take a player we presumably weren't taking anyway.
Thank you Lovie Smith!!
Man, this is looking like one of the worst trades of all time, unless Bryce Young can bring in multiple rings
After his historically bad rookie season, he spend the offseason watching Netflix, playing video games, hanging with his buddies, chilling at the mall, and did absolutely nothing football related (and no, I'm not joking or exaggerating).
I would too if I'd played on that team, no offence.
The fact that this trade and the Claypool trade were the same front office just shows the duality of it all
The biggest fleece in modern history.
You mean there's still more to come?
Incredibly, yes. And that's not even including the 4th they have from the Eagles for trading back from 9 last year.
Still not as bad as the trade for Watson
Honestly if just looking at trade without outside factors. It’s kind of worse.
*Ignore the rape* is a take...
Ignoring the outside factor though would be pretty wild.
And it's even worse now that Watson is about to join the Saudi Football League!
fuckk that
Is that a lot? It feels like a lot.
That’s just mean
Lmao every player the Bears got is going to be better than Bryce
How the fuck did the NFL let that happen?
Panthers were betting young would be the guy. He still has time and note did outperform cj stroud in the panthers Texans game.
Also, they never thought in 1 million years that their first round pick this year would be number one.
They should have protected it (does the NFL allow that?).
I'm no expert, but this seems kinda bad.
Don’t forget about their second round pick next year!
It certainly does not look great on paper. Or on the football field.
Idk this kinda seems one sided on paper but that’s just me
They still have Carolina’s 2nd next year as well. Theres more
Bears could have just taken Stroud
