If you could steal one player from each NFC North opponent, who would it be?
When it comes to the Chicago Bears, we as fans should know how it is to be jealous of other teams. How many of you are jealous of Patrick Mahomes? Who is upset that the Bears took Mitch Tubisky over Deshaun Watson? What about Aaron Donald not making it to the Bears, but instead being drafted by the Los Angeles Rams?
Well, let us put all of that aside and enter a hypothetical situation. A situation where the Chicago Bears and Ryan Pace could steal one player from each of their NFC North divisional rivals. This is just something fun to think about and consider, but it gives us a look at the Bears opponents and identifies the best players the Bears will be facing.
The Chicago Bears find themselves 5-1 on the season, but we all know the offense needs some work. Would you take three offensive players since the defense seems to be just fine? Would you ignore need and just take the best player available? This is essentially the decision every NFL General Manager must face every spring during the NFL Draft.
Personally, I am all about taking the best player available. I figure if I am a good coach, I can adjust my offense to fit a player’s skill set. I’d rather have an explosive wide receiver even with a deep wide receiving corps than an average offensive lineman. I also am taking into consideration injury history when stealing a player from the Packers, Lions and Vikings. If this were a real possibility, here are the three players I would steal if I was the Chicago Bears.
