The Bears will send three picks to the Patriots for their No. 73 overall choice.
New England will move down again and acquire third- and fifth-round Chicago picks (Nos. 87 and 162). The Patriots will also collect a 2020 fourth-round selection from the Bears. Meanwhile, New England will also send the No. 205 choice to the Bears.
Chicago is selecting Iowa State running back David Montgomery. He’ll join a revamped Bears backfield that includes free agent signee Mike Davis as well as holdover Tarik Cohen.
Wow. They must really want someone bad to give up that much.
the Patriots way, trade down and stockpile picks.
Good for Pats.
Didn’t really give up much, essentially a 2020 4th which will likely be late 4th, for the back they really wanted. No chance he’s still on the board if they stay put. Many had him rated the second best back in the draft. I like it. Good for both teams, the Pats manipulate the draft better than any team.
Dude looks slower than Jordan Howard
His straight line speed is not great but he’s much quicker than Howard and sheds tackles like a beast. He can also catch- Howard’s biggest weakness.
I agree! I did not see him really shedding tackles! Once contact was made, he went down!
The Bears not only gave up their 4th round pick in 2020 but they also gave up pick 162 along with 87 (Pats gave up 205). That is kind of a lot. Later the Patriots traded pick 97 and 162 for picks 101 and 133. Interesting moves by a lot of teams in rounds 2 and 3. This is supposedly the strength of this draft (rounds 2,3 & 4). Time will tell.
belichick’s a beyond a brilliant genius
