Don't think the Bears beat either Detroit or Vikings. Other scenarios are possible but unlikely.

I would hate getting the number 1 pick. 2 or 3 would be fine. We are pretty locked into 4.

Why on earth would you hate that? That is the prime position to trade down with.

If you think it helps the Cards rep or something by not getting it, get real that ship has already sailed. I am all about getting the most draft value possible now.

Because I don't think anyone will trade up to #1 overall. The last time was over 20 years ago. It is really expensive to trade to 1.

edit, it was also done in 2016.

ESPN predicts Cardinals get #1 overall selection.
Anything is possible, but some of the "simulated results" that need to obtain for this result seem HIGHLY unlikely:

Bears 37, Lions 29
Bears 34, Vikings 24


Lions' and Vikings' defenses are near the bottom of the league, but Bears to score 37 and 34 after averaging 20 PPG over the first 15 games?

Texans 30, Jaguars 16

Texans have been showing fight, but Jags have been playing MUCH better the last half-season.

Broncos 41, Chargers 33

Broncos' 15.5 PPG offense to come up with 41 points?! The Chargers' D is below average, but they'll still have incentive win to clinch the #5 seed and a game vs. the AFC South winner, rather than the #6 seed and a visit to the Bengals.

Hopefully there is a skilled OLB that we draft to play ILB at our pick. In the 2nd round I'm targeting a small school (Possibly D2) short WR with a lot of grit and speed.
I know you’re being playful here…but with the Cardinals it’s to close to the truth to be dismissed. My fear is that we’ll get a pick in the top 3, trade the pick for a broken down OL guy and draft short wideouts and a gaggle of inside linebackers.

Well, I couldn't imagine drafting a QB in the top 10 in back to back years but we did that and look where it got us.
To the playoffs and then a really bad year? After we were the worst team in our history?

Trading back while Jalen Carter or Will Anderson are still on the board would be such a Steve Keim move.

I like Anderson but i am cooling on Carter.
Rumor has it some scouts say he is kinda lazy and doesnt have any love of the game.
Reminiscent of Robert Nkemdiche.
Would hate to waste a top 5 pick on that kind of player....sadly, would prefer Bijon Robinson over a lazy D Lineman...and im kinda with y'all on first round runningbacks.
So my biggest hope is that we get Anderson

Lol. They have the bears beating the lions and Vikings in consecutive weeks averaging 34pts and Denver pinning 41 points on their opponent in the final week. Nah gonna happen.
