    Bears: Is Jimmy Garoppolo worth the steep price tag?

    For months on end, the Chicago Bears have been linked to New England Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The young, promising backup to Tom Brady has been the subject of plenty of trade rumors recently. Although many teams are realistic options for the youngster, the Bears have arguably been the most-talked about team in those rumors. It now appears that the Pats have set an asking price for a potential deal.

    As the tweet shows, this price is very similar to the one that the Eagles got for Sam Bradford. However, if you apply this deal to quarterback-needy teams, the price becomes a lot higher.
    Many teams will be doing their homework on Jimmy G, the Bears being one of them. Some of the others include the Browns, the Jets and even the 49ers. You could even throw in the Broncos as a possible suitor. When you look at this list, what do these teams have in common? None of them are playoff teams. Even more specific, the first four teams all have something in common: they all have top-ten picks.

    Unless the Bears win this week, then all of the first three picks will look at Garoppolo (do you have any idea how hard that is to spell?). The Browns also have the Eagles’ first-rounder, which is bound to be a top-ten pick as well. That means that, to get him, one of those teams would have to give up a very high draft pick. Here’s the thing though: none of them can afford to give up that high of a pick.
    I’m going to use the Bears as an example here. They have plenty of other needs besides quarterback: offensive tackle, safety, cornerback, tight end, defensive end and wide receiver (especially if Alshon Jeffery leaves). They can fill one of those needs and solidify that position with the third pick, as well as with one of their fourth-rounders. This especially goes for safety and defensive end, as Jamal Adams and Jonathan Allen are both elite talents at their respective positions. Why would you pass on the opportunity to get one of them? Better yet, why would you pass on the opportunity to get one of them in favor of an unproven quarterback?
    Garoppolo has yet to be an NFL starter for an entire season. In fact, he has only started two games in his entire three-year career. TWO. Why on Earth would you risk getting an elite talent for someone with two games of meaningful film? Even Brock Osweiler started in more games before the Texans spent everything but the kitchen sink to get him. We all know how that worked out.

    Look, I’m not knocking Jimmy Garoppolo as a talent. He’s a solid player who has great traits and lots of room to grow. But there is absolutely no way that the Bears should give up the third pick in the draft for him.
