NFL Draft Bible s mock draft on FanNation this week did more than turn a few heads.
It caused some really sore necks. A few eyeballs had to be put back into their sockets, as well.
This was a attention-grabber as Roy Countryman detailed a seven-round mock draft involving trades and the real eye openers were deals involving quarterbacks. The Bears were involved in this.
The NFL Draft Bible mock couldn t get Deshaun Watson to the Bears. He went, instead, to Carolina in a multiplayer deal. They didn t get Sam Darnold, who was shipped by the Jets to the 49ers for a swap of first-round positions and a fifth-round pick.
In prioritizing Watt, cap restrictions force Cards to pivot off Reddick

After three long years of waiting, Haason Reddick finally realized his potential this past season.
Following the season ending injury to star pass rusher Chandler Jones, Reddick was thrust into the starting lineup where he promptly responded with a career high 12.5 sacks. In addition to his QB take-downs, Reddick also netted 15 tackles for loss, 16 quarterback hits and six forced fumbles.
He was undoubtedly the Arizona Cardinals best front seven player in 2020.
Well, not
technically gone as the Cardinals could still convince Reddick to stay as a free agent. But outside of Kurt Warner back in 2009, when is the last time a prominent Arizona Cardinal was allowed to “test the market” yet opted to return to the team?
There isn’t a Bears fan who would disagree with the assessment that Chicago’s offense needs change. Moreover, I believe most fans would agree that upgrades along the offensive line are a must. And to that end, shuffling the names in the trenches figured to be something on the Bears’ to-do list this offseason.
Change appears to be on the horizon:
The #Bears are not likely to exercise the option on OT Bobby Massie’s contract, another casualty of the cap crunch, source said. He’ll be a FA, saving them more than $5M vs. the cap & putting a starting caliber tackle on the market in a year when OTs are more valuable than ever.
