NFL Network: Bears' Briggs, 31st Pick for Skins' 6th Pick?

Plain and Simple: This is a great deal if we get a second or third round pick. This is a really great deal if we get the 31st and 37th. We get screwed if we just get the 31st.

Well said. I got no problem with Briggs and think he'd be a good player for us. But the fact is we need more players than just him and whatever the 31 will buy us. Put another pick in the deal (a 3rd rounder would do) and I'd be on board.

I agree with this, but we will never get that much. The skins pick is 1600 points, the Bears first 2 picks total 1130. That trade would basically put a 470 point value on Briggs which is equivilent to the 43rd pick in the draft. The Bears will never accept a mid 2nd round pick for Briggs. Basically we get screwed one way they get screwed the other way...why don't we all just walk away!
