You trade two 1st rounders, you’re looking for playoff wins. You telling me you wouldn’t rather have a young Montez Sweat, another 1st round pick to build around, and the extra $140 million? I definitely would. The Mack trade did not achieve the desired result. Sure, you got a really good player, but that’s not why you trade/spend all that for a veteran. You trade/spend that much to win big. The Bears haven’t.
You don't get to pick who the Bears would have drafted tho.
They swapped an unknown for an all-pro.
They gave up a 1st rounder and cash to do it.
I'm not sure that 1st rounder is enough to get the Bears those 4-6 wins for Pace and Nagy.
