Bill Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 So have been doing the draft with wcg and we have traded back at 43 to 48 and another pick. With 48 we picked Isaiah Wilson and with the 50th traded back again and now have 57 and two more picks. Lester Wilfong is doing the draft and doing the trades etc. Then a poll is taken to see who those of us want to do with a dozen choices of bpa or trade back. Good way to spend a sunday when we are in the middle of the hardest raining storm in nrca i have ever seen this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that means someone else wants to move up, so it's not always so easy to find a trading partner for it, or when you do, they dont quite offer enough value etc. But for sure, all things being equal, if Pace can pick up more picks and still get guys he is targeting, then that is win / win.

Bill Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 57th they picked L. Shenault WR Now there at 157 and three picks in this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Sorry 158 and pick was D. Lewis G Two hogs, my kind of draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Damn, going from 43 to 48 and only getting a 5th and then from 50 to 57 for a late 5th and 7th (which is basically worthless)? I like the idea of trading back, but not if we can only get a 5th in return. It will be interesting to see who got picked from 43-47 and from 50-56. Does anyone have a link to the draft results?

Bill Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 The link is at the top. The third post. They have most of the trade info and who was picked between each pick in the comment section. Lot of people unhappy about the return on the trades downs.

Stinger226 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I like the draft, I picked a few different names than won but it's a nice draft. Picking Runyan after picking Lewis didn't make sense with Ifedi, Bars and Coward already on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Not a mock draft person. Don't know anything about any of the picks from round two or three on. But a good way to spend a wet rainy Sunday. And see how a bunch of other fans would pick in same draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I think those picks align very well with the opinions we get on this forum as far as positions of need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to know who we gave up by trading back so makes the value proposition a big unknown. One thing is clear from the comments we could have had Zach Baun at 43 and I'd have stayed put and taken him. He puts legitimate depth into our pass rush and he can help cover open field by dropping back into coverage which is something Quinn nor Mack are good at.

AZ54 Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 The ironic part is these are the people who criticize Ryan Pace for his drafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Lloyd Cushenberry went at #46, I would rather have him at #43 than Wilson at 48 and a 6th. Wilson is still a project and you need a starter in the 2nd round. Jaylon Johnson went at #50, I would have taken him at #50 instead of Shenault at #57 and a 6th. Johnson is BPA and fills a need at CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Here are the picks between 43-56. We had 43 and traded down to 48. We had 50 and traded down to 57. 43.Tee Higgins - Original Pick 44.Marlon Davidson 45.Jacob Eason 46.Lloyd Cushenberry 47.Cesar Ruiz 48.Isaiah Wilson BEARS 49.Zack Baun 50.Jaylon Johnson - Original Pick 51.Adam Trautman 52.Michael Pittman Jr. 53.Brandon Aiyuk 54.Julian Okwara 55.Joe Bachie 56.Cole Kmet 57.Laviska Shenault BEARS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I really liked the concept of using the simulator, I just don't like the results, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Here is mine without trades: 43. K.J. Hamler WR Penn State 50. Lloyd Cushenberry C LSU 163. Josiah Deguara TE Cincinnati 196. Antoine Brooks Jr. S Maryland 200. James Robinson RB Illinois State 226. Juwan Johnson WR Oregon 233. Jon Runyan Jr. G Michigan I tried to stick to BPA as much as possible.

adam Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 With trades: 54. Noah Igbinoghene CB Auburn 56. Lloyd Cushenberry C LSU 128. Anthony McFarland RB Maryland 141. Jake Fromm QB Georgia 163. Josiah Deguara TE Cincinnati 196. Nevelle Clark CB UCF 200. Broderick Washington Jr. DT Texas Tech 226. Jon Runyan Jr. G Michigan 233. Rodrigo Blankenship K Georgia It seems that Lester didn't really try too hard on the trades. I tried two (just to get a 4th in return) and instead of 43 and 50, I got 54, 56, 128, and 141. Still not the best value, but better than 6th's. I am going to see if I can get a 3rd in some of the trades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 So it was definitely possible to get better trades, Lester was probably trying to just go quick. Here is one with trade downs from 43-51, and 50-61. So I used 43, 50 to get 56, 61, 93, and 141. I got 2x 2nds, a 3rd, and a 4th for the 2x 2nds. 56. Terrell Lewis OLB Alabama 61. Jeremy Chinn S Southern Illinois 93. Adam Trautman TE Dayton 141. K.J. Hill WR Ohio State 163. Antonio Gibson RB Memphis 196. Nevelle Clark CB UCF 200. Nick Harris C Washington 226. Rodney Clemons S SMU 233. Steven Montez QB Colorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 So while drinking some coffee this morning, I ran the sim 10 times to pick 42 to see which players had the highest probability that they would be available at 43. Here are the 8 most likely players available at pick 43: Marlon Davidson, DE Auburn Cesar Ruiz, C Michigan Jacob Eason, QB Washington Lloyd Cushenberry, C LSU Cole Kmet, TE Notre Dame Noah Igbinoghene, CB Auburn Jaylon Johnson, CB Utah Julian Okwara, DE Notre Dame Now the interesting thing is we have pick 43 and 50, so technically we would be able to get 2 from this group. If you could pick any two, which two would you choose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killakrzydav Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Any 2 of 3 of the SEC kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I would pick one of the two IOL and one of the two CB. Which ever fits the Bears scheme best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
