It’s hard for me to wrap my head around giving up a high second round draft pick just so that we can pay him top dollar. I know all the arguments for it, and I get that an edge of that quality is unlikely to make it to free agency, but overpaying is still overpaying. And the draft capital and salary cap space we’re giving up, if used separately, would add more utility to a roster than spending both on one player. Which makes this an overpay.

What did he give the 9ers and Young?

It was a stupid trade for where this team is.

ESPN is little better than Bleacher Report now. They likely saw Swift was the 2nd pick in the draft and automatically deduced he’s the better player without looking at stats, injury history and honestly the fact he takes weeks off at a time.

Sweat isn’t Khalil Mack, but we also didn’t give up a Khalil Mack trade package for him either.

Also, it’s entirely possible ESPN like other meat heads out there are stupidly trying to argue the Bears did this in an attempt to make the playoffs THIS year.
