Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles wanted to know what opportunities could come from having the top draft pick. He needed advice on packages that included both players and picks. So he called called a friend in town: Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson. More:
“If they saw value in this, then they would be very motivated to get it done,” Poles said.
“We couldn’t get there with just picks,” Fitterer said. “So we argued that D.J. was worth a 1, plus somebody else. We both agreed how valuable he would be for a young quarterback, to give him a proper evaluation.” “We didn’t want to have that big gap in there,” Fitterer said. “We thought the sweet spot in this class is somewhere between 20 and 45, just really good value in there. At 61, that’s a heck of a fall, and you’re gonna watch a lot of good players .”
The Bears were comfortable with the move down to No. 9, too. Alabama pass rusher Will Anderson might not be an option, but other “blue” graded players on their board should be, especially if three quarterbacks get drafted before them. “We went with the best option that we thought was good for the franchise,” Eberflus said. “It was the right thing to do.”
“I liked the compensation a lot,” he said. “I started getting excited about what we can do for the organization — not only having D.J. enhance and help Justin develop but also down the road. And at this time next year, we’re having two 1s. I don’t know where they’ll be, but I know they will help us get better.”
