At number 9, I think “getting stuck” with Carter is a risk worth taking. I think Poles blinked. No one is perfect. I find it very difficult to believe no one but the Eagles were interested in Carter at 9.

No offense, but it doesn't really matter what you find difficult to believe because you're approaching this like a child to begin with.

The notion that the Bears should've spent their top-10 pick on a guy they literally did not want on their team, and because they didn't you're 'disappointed', is absolutely fucking absurd.  Just ludicrous stuff.

They didn't want Carter.  Rather than just let the Eagles take him, they got an asset for him.  And you're whining about it!!  Literally, I've mocked you many many many times and this is something so stupid I wouldn't even have guessed it.

It will be interesting to see how the future of Jalen Carter plays out.

And yes, I think it’s OK to take a player you maybe necessarily don’t want, I’m old enough to remember when Illinois didn’t want Dwyane Wade

There is practically no doubt in my mind that they could have likely flipped Carter for more

Taking a player you don't even want with a top-10 NFL draft pick to avoid getting a free draft pick is quite literally the stupidest idea I've ever seen espoused on an Internet message board.

I also give poles and Eberflus credit for sticking to their guns on culture. No pun intended. Just not sure I agree with the process in this case.

And there is practically no value to what is in your mind, Tempo. You can scream "they should've gotten more" until your face is blue, but that's fantasy.

They could've gotten less, for sure.  They could, rather than the guy they wanted and an extra pick, have ended up with JUST the guy they wanted, or a guy they didn't want.  That you find those options to be preferable speaks to how fucking absurd you're being about this.

A brilliant NFL draft strategy, really inarguable stuff.

The problem is, we will never know what their other options were, if any. I suspect trading with the Eagles was not their only option, but lucky for you we will never know.

I remember Tempo going on and on about how the Bears fleeced the 49ers by trading up a spot to get a guy the 49ers didn't want.

If the Bears knew what they were fucking doing they'd have either spent their #9 pick on someone they didn't want or someone who wasn't available.

Hard not to be disappointed that they didn't take one of those guys.

Bad faith argument. And obviously, I never said that.

If the 127th pick in next years’ draft was the best they could do…ok fine. I just find that really hard to believe. And again, making the best team in the NFC stronger maybe isn’t the most prudent move. I’d have less issue if they’d traded the Carter pick to the Jets, or even the Falcons.
