Now, that's the thing.
Trey Hendrickson, a little bit older, but also he's had better seasons than Chubb.
I would think...
that if you're ranking who you'd rather have on the Bears, Hendrickson still above Chubb.
I just think Chubb is probably above Crosby and the aforementioned Myles Garrett because he doesn't cost you anything.
And the Bears are in a position right now where they need to get better through the draft.
They did that last year to a degree.
Shamar Turner, not available at the end of the season, but you're hoping he, Zay Frazier, some of these other guys can contribute on the defensive side of the ball because let's be honest, they didn't get anything on defense through the draft.
I hear what you're saying, but I'm going to say if you have a legitimate shot to acquire Max Crosby or Miles Garrett, you have to do that because it's one thing to get a quality pass rusher via trade where you give up draft capital.
It's another thing when you're getting one of the two best pass rushers.
In the NFL.
Two Hall of Fame caliber pass rushers.
Do you have a path to Myles Garrett?
What does that package look like?
I think even giving up something for Max Crosby is going to bankrupt your next two first round picks at the minimum.
So for Garrett, it's got to be two first rounders and then what?
Here's my thing.
If it's two first rounders, you have to ask yourself the question of...
Is it worth it to give up a guy who would potentially be a starter and likely a defensive player that you draft in the first round or the best pass rusher in the NFL?
