One of the 3rd rounders that were traded for Trubisky turned into Fred Warner. He was All-Pro last year.

Good so we agree

On your strawman, no. Sure Ryan Pace isn’t a particularly good drafter, but he doesn’t miss on all of his picks. If he’s not a particularly strong drafter, I’d rather he have more picks, not less.

And again, giving up 2 1sts and 141 million dollars for 0 playoff wins is a failed trade.

In 2019 the Bears forfeited a pick that could have landed them Montez Sweat.

In 2020 the Bears forfeited a 1st round pick that could have landed them Justin Jefferson.

There was another forfeited pick that could have gotten them DK Metcalf, Terry McLaurin, or Diontae Johnson. All drafted shortly after that slot.

But who needs draft picks when you’ve got an aging/injured LB and Anthony Miller!

Which gets back the thesis that it’s foolish to give away so much capital when you don’t know what you’ve got in your HC/QB.

If you had KNOWN that Nagy and Trubisky were of Super Bowl caliber, that trade would have made all the sense in the world. That simply wasn’t the case.

Not to mention maybe one or two of those picks might have netted you a decent starter or two on your Oline.

Players drafted after the 4th round slot the Bears gave away to move up for Floyd include: Dak Prescott, Tyreek Hill, and Matthew Judon (not to mention some starting caliber interior linemen). I wonder if any of those guys could have helped the Bears. Of course, there’s no guarantee the Bears pick any of these players, but the moral of the story is clear. More picks is better than less picks. Particularly when the drafter has a spotty record (which they all pretty much do). Even Belichick misses on too many high picks, but he knows the value of draft assets.

Belichick doesn’t fall in love with players/talent. He’s drafts for value and to build teams.

The idea that the more chances you have, the more likely you are to draft good players is complicated?

That certainly is succinct and to the point
