Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

Oh, you're being realistic.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

Okay.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

No, because I think Caleb Downs, oh my gosh, if they got him, but they're going to have to give him a lot.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

Oh, no, but he's my favorite player as safety.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

I love him.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

Yeah, I agree with David from this standpoint about the idea of more realistic.

But specifically, Todd McShay has the Bears trading up a couple spots, to your point, David.

22, right?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

Move up.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

But what does that cost?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

Does that cost one of your two second-round picks?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

If it does, that's way too much.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

I thought Dan Weider made a very good point, though.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

I have been banging the drum, if you will, about trading back.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

But when you trade back, you have to find a team that wants to come up.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

So what would the board have to do in order for a team to come up to your spot?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

If only one quarterback has gone...

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

and we get to like 22-23, you just wonder, are teams going to start ringing the bell and texting or whatever, however, if there's a bat phone to general manager to general manager and decide, hey, we want to come up and get that pick.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Best of the Bears: Best strategy for using 25th overall pick in NFL Draft

I think that's the best case scenario for the Bears is that only the one quarterback, Heisman Doza, has gone number one and that there is a decision where I want one of the next two quarterbacks

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And I have one identified higher than the other, so I'm going to go get them right now.
