WEBVTT - The Bears shake up the NFL draft

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell Trabinsky moving, you know, the Bears trading up to

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>number two, moving up one spot, you know, under some

0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>pretense that someone else was going to take him at two. Apparently,

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.600
<v Speaker 1>and apparently you know they're going for their quarterback despite

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>spending forty five million dollars on Mike Glennon just a

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>couple of months ago. Is there any rhyme or reason here, Joe,

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>if you are a Bears fan right now, do you

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>see a plan? Oh, it's certainly a plan. Whether or

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>not it's the plan you want, we'll find out. I

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.480
<v Speaker 1>think I actually saw Brian Billicon. I think he articulated

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>it perfectly this afternoon. He said, if you're gonna move

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>up with that kind of a package for a quarterback,

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that's gotta be a guy that you're not trying to develop,

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:45.160
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be a guy who's gonna be a starter

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>from day one. And I think he's exactly right. That's

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>the tone that you're setting when you move up and

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>you package all those draft picks to go up there

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>and make that move. Now, they didn't really talk about

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>him in any way, shape or form starting right out

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>of the gate. That's why they're brought in glenn in

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the first place. So for me, I think it's too

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>much for a guy with only thirteen starts, a guy

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna have to develop, and worst off, you've got

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a situation where not gonna be able to develop him

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.559
<v Speaker 1>necessarily under a John Fox led coaching staff or under

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback like Mike Glennon. It's not like he's playing

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>behind a great veteran quarterback where he's gonna be able

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>to learn the position, or even playing playing behind an

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Alex Smith for that matter, or an Alex Smith, you know,

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>with a quarterback grooper like Andy Reid, which is my

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>homes and a much better situation. You can't teach arm

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>strength thing. Absolutely no, I completely agree with you, But

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into that Kansas City move a little bit.

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is Andy Reid basically going from horizontal to vertical?

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a very interesting question. But I gotta

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>ask you, Joe Listen. I am in a very competitive

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>two quarterback crazy dynasty league, and I thought, you know,

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 1>because speeds of spitting statistician knows his stuff, and I

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>knew Mike Glennon's contract was coming up, and I knew

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>that he had a chance to be a starter, right,

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>So I picked him up the middle of the season,

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>held onto him the entire you know, my entire playoff run,

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff, you know, so that he's now you know,

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I get him in like the thirteenth round in next

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>year's draft, which I was really happy about. Do I

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>have cause for concern in my dynasty league for the

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>next you know, for two thousand seventeen or do you

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.079
<v Speaker 1>think that could be an issue you know, more eighteen

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>and beyond. I think it's more atheen and beyond. I'm

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:17.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna be honest with you. I think they made the

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>commitment to Glennon and I don't think Dr Whisky is

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>anywhere near ready now. An injury can change that all

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, real quick. That's something to keep in mind.

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 1>But first of all, let me tell you you're doing

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>it right because you're playing in a two quarterback league

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>or a super flex. If you're not playing in that

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of league at this point in time, I think

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>you're doing it wrong because that's where the stats are,

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>that's where the NFL is, and that's where the position

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>is being utilized. It's quarterback. It's not running back anymaire

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.679
<v Speaker 1>or more and that's what the kind of leagues that

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>you need to make sure that you're in. That's what

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>we do here on the Fantasy Freestyle help people win

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>their leagues and win that cash a joey. One thing

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned though, is that an injury can always change things.

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>This reminds me of another team situation only a year ago,

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>where an injury did ultimately change things. I'm talking about

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the Philadelphia Eagle who had Sam Bradford under contract right

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>and they were paying him money and everyone was complaining

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>to be quite honest about how much money he was

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>making and how much money the Eagles had already committed

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>to that quarterback position, not only with him, but with

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.959
<v Speaker 1>Chase Daniel as well, you know, going into the draft

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>last year, then they move up, you know, to get

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Carson Wentz have all that you know, money and talent

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>locked up in the quarterback room. But then an injury

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>goes and you know, there goes Bradford and that paves

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the way for Carson Wentz last year. Do you see,

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're gonna get into some other possible trades

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>that could still be live a little bit later on

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>in the show. Do you think now that the way

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the Glennon contract is structured, gives the Bears an out

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>to potentially use Glennon as an asset down the road

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>as well. I have a hard time believe at this

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>point in time Glennon is that much of an asset.

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I would have thought Sam Bradford wasn't an asset. Yeah,

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>but the problem with Bradford is he still got that

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>weird petty. It's funny what follows you in the NFL?

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you're pick number one overall and you

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>have this pedigree Oklahoma or follow Sam Bran, Yeah, that

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>follows him. The number one overall follows him. Also the

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>tag of very talented but injuries, can't stay on the field.

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>If he could just put it together, if he could,

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>if if, if, but if don't always get it done. Unfortunately,

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I think Bradford was a unique situation. I'd be very

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.840
<v Speaker 1>surprised if Glennon is not the opening day starter for

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago Bears, and I would be very even more surprised.

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>And if he wasn't the starter at the end of

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the year, now that's gonna be a different story. It's

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna be an open competitionalist. Glennon plays horribly horribly. But

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, Glennon's not that bad. And if you give

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>him some weapons, you give them a decent running game.

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I kind of like what he would have to do

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.359
<v Speaker 1>in a you know, two quarterback league super flex. He

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>might not be that bad, all right. So you know,

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 1>if you say a lot of ifs in there, if

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>in a metro card gets me home, I want to

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 1>say that the uh, the Green Bay Packers have in

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>fact selected they stay in that pick. They've selected Kevin

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>King cornerback out of Washington. As we know that past

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>defense last year for the Green Bay Packers was a problem,

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>so they you know, they get the cornerback out of Washington.

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>We can talk about that a little bit later on,

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 1>but I do want to talk about the other side

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 1>of this trade, Joe, because you mentioned, you know, praise

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.479
<v Speaker 1>for your boy John Lynch, who apparently just shines in

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>everything he does, whether it's playing safety, whether it's broadcasting

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>or in the front office. He's one and oh so

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>far in my opinion. Here's the thing. Remember John Lynch

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.279
<v Speaker 1>in that great Tampa Tampa two defense. Right. I have

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 1>heard today comparisons from Solomon Thomas to Warren Sapp and

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I have heard comparisons of Ruben Foster to Derek Brooks.

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Ruben Foster, I'll tell you one thing has that speed

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>not only to go sideline to sideline, but to be

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>that kind of cover to linebacker and get depth in coverage.

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>If that's the kind of defense that San Francisco is

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 1>looking for, you gotta love what John Lynch is doing

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.040
<v Speaker 1>so far early on to trade back, accumulate all sorts

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>of other assets and draft capital to move back one spot,

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>still get the guy they probably wanted at the top anyway,

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>and then get a guy who who many people were

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>saying top five, top ten talent back trading back into

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the end of the US round. Talk to me, how

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 1>do you how are you looking at John Lynch in

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the move that Niners are making so far. Well, look

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>that's the kicker getting back in there and taking Ruben Foster. Now,

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>however he is whatever whatever you know baggage is following him,

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>or whatever injury questions you might have about him, the

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>talent is certainly not something to question. He is a

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>top ten talent without doubt. John Lynch did a fantastic job.

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the people out there today are basically

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>saying nobody could verify that anyone else was talking about

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Mitch Drabsky, not not one Mitchell Mitchell. Yeah, well he's

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Mitch right now. When he just start in the NFL,

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll call him, I'll call him Mitchell. But look here,

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>here's my point about what Lynch did. What Lynch did

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.040
<v Speaker 1>as a classic opportunity of you know somebody wants him,

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 1>you create uh, some sort of fake leverage. He did that.

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 1>He used that. The forty Niners are a team and

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>a roster that's bereft of talent. They have so many

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>holes in so many places. The first thing you need

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 1>to do is start to solidify defense. They did that.

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 1>They did it in spades last night. I think it

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>was a great job by John Lynch. We'll see what

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>they do tonight. Getting back into that end of the

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>draft in the first round and getting Foster was just

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the icing on the top of the cake. Was a

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.679
<v Speaker 1>cherry on top and not just a great move by Lynch. Listen,

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you said created some fake interest. Oh, I definitely so.

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>You do you do think he was fake? Now? You

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>don't think that circles. You don't think that circles back

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>around to him in future kind of wheeling and dealing,

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>that his word cannot maybe be trusted when he's negotiating

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>with other teams. It doesn't matter if you have what

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 1>the other person wants to I guess, But now are

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 1>people gonna want to trade with San Francisco? I think

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting. Look how many trades happen in the NFL

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>outside of the draft? You know, So you're in an

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>opportunity where where right now? Your window of time to

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>turn this organization around is small. Maybe he doesn't know

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the like rules and the norms of the policies and
