These kind of "great bargin" picks drive me nuts too. Let's hope once again Hobnob is just guessing....

I honestly don't put too much weight into it. Now if Lap comes out and says it I'd be worried!

Doesnt matter. Pick someone else for Pete's sake. Dunlap didnt sit out for 2 seasons at florida either. Having an injury or being a 2 seasons injury os different

It's just a mock draft, arguably our best player of all time Munoz had many injuries in college. But again it's only a mock draft!

Yea, yea it is and wish he would have picked someone rather than someone from the bernies bargain barn basement of injuries.

I thought they should have made this trade in the middle of last year. Bears are too good of team to have Mitch as their QB.

As the Bears look to acquire a veteran quarterback to push Mitch Trubisky, one name that's been thrown around is Andy Dalton.

According to The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr., the Bears have "been in touch" with the Bengals regarding a potential Dalton trade.

Dalton comes with a hefty cap hit ($17.5 million) and is only under contract through 2020, but Trubisky being on his rookie deal would help the Bears stomach his salary. The 32-year-old threw for 3,494 yards with 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions last season, sporting 78.3 passer rating.

Adding Dalton would give the Bears insurance in case Trubisky's 2019 struggles persist next season. Dalton is an established veteran who is familiar with Bears offensive coordinator Bill Lazor. The two worked together from 2016-18, when Lazor was Cincinnati's quarterbacks coach (2016) and OC (2017-18).

Dehner's report doesn't offer any specific packages the Bears and Bengals have discussed. However, barring a surprise, Cincinnati will select LSU quarterback Joe Burrow No. 1 overall in the NFL draft in two months. Considering Burrow is set to become the Bengals' quarterback of the future, trading Dalton will give him the chance to play elsewhere.

The Bears have made it clear Trubisky is entering 2020 as their starter. However, someone like Dalton could usurp him if the former No. 2 overall pick can't find his footing this season.

I could see something like a 3 this year and a 5 next year for Dalton.

Don't overlook.the Colts either. Their kicking the tires on Phillip Rivers for Pete's sakes! He's like 38!!

Personally I love the thought of actually getting something for Dalton vrs just letting him play out his contract. I would be happy with a 3rd and a 5th but I'd like more.

On a side note I hope the fans thank Andy for all he's been to this franchise and not rude like they were to Palmer. The guy gave this place everything he had for many years. We as fans should give him some respect.

Agreed.

If 2 or 3 teams are truly interested in dalton we may be able to get a mid to late 2nd I'm thinking.

Colts, Patriots named as potential landing spots for Andy Dalton....

Supposedly, the bengals are willing to eat a portion of Dalton's salary in order to make a deal. Add that to the fact that a team could get a decent compensatory pick if they let Dalton leave, I can see the Bengals getting a decent trade return.
