NFL Trade Talk: Analyzing the Jeffery Simmons Move

Did you like the Jeffrey Simmons move? Getting Jeffrey Simmons, the top flight, defensive tackle, sending him up to the Windy City. My true first reaction was maybe Howie should have just traded Jalen Carter. That was harder. That was my, really, like, I'm just saying. And I wonder if Howie's had that. You know, kick it around in his head at all. Um, Because if Jeff Simmons is worth two, then Jalen Carter's worth two. Because Jalen Carter's much younger than Jeffrey Simmons. I didn't love it for the Bears. I know all Bears fans are excited. DTs are great. Jeff Simmons is great. I get that. I just do think that two firsts feels heavy. Because I'm not sure the Bears are as close as everybody else does. The NFC North is unbelievable. The Vikings might be the worst team in the division and they haven't lost a game. So you make a move like this, you absolutely have to be. In the playoffs, making a run at it. And I think the Bears could win 10 games and miss the playoffs because of just, the NFC is good this year, guys. The NFC is good. Between the West and the North, everyone focuses on like the NFC East and no, no, no. The NFC is going to be a tough invitational to get a ticket to. So maybe that's why the Bears are like, we need Simmons so we can get there now. I just, one first round pick cool, two felt a little heavy in my opinion. How about this, Kevin, for this deal to work, they may not have to win the Superbowl, but you've got to get to the NFC championship game because if you're picking down at 30 or 31 and you finished like down there and those draft pits are like high second round bottom of the first, that kind of makes that look a little better if it's a 31st pick in the draft. You know what I'm saying? But if the Bears all of a sudden crap that bread and all of a sudden you got a top 10 pick, it's not good.
