That pick would be at pick #35 if the draft were held today. That is steep and saying that the Bears don't think shit about the class and they have to extend him.

The same team that wasted a 2nd on Claypool. Giants and Skins are making smart trades while Jerry fiddles.

Trading Sweat for a 2, even if it's a high 2, isn't a "smart move". He's a top 10ish edge rusher in his prime and a top 5 player on their roster, the chances of them getting someone as good with that pick are very small.

They're just desperate to refresh/reset the slate.

The Giants made a good deal for Williams given his age though, I was surprised they got a 2.

This edge rusher class is pretty weak, I love Turner and Latu but they're kind of undersized 3-4 OLB/Leo types. There are barely any first round edge rushers who are properly sized, i.e. 6-4/6-5, 260-265+.

The 2 was gonna be higher than any comp pick they got for losing him in FA.

Sure, getting this pick is obviously better than losing him in FA and getting a 3rd in 2025, but ultimately what's better than both of those scenarios is paying and keeping a top 10 or so DE in the league.

But they know their fans are desperate for a fresh start and getting picks provides hope and let's fans paint their own hopes and wishes on a blank canvas, so here we are.

This would be like if we traded Diggs or even Lamb for a high 2 instead of paying them, which would be completely asinine.
