PTF (yeah, I know) is reporting that the Bears will try to trade down from #4 overall.
I'm worried about the market to trade down as it is, if we go that route we won't need competition...
BEARS PLOTTING A MOVE DOWN?
Our Chitown mole tells us that Bears G.M. Jerry Angelo already is considering scenarios that would enable him to trade out of the No. 4 overall spot and pick up extra selections in the 2005 draft.
Two years ago, the Bears traded out of the four hole and picked up two first-rounders and a fourth-rounder from the Jets. The Bears used those picks on DE Michael Haynes, QB Rex Grossman, and DT Ian Scott.
This time around, the Bears are eying a possible swap with the Chargers and the Cowboys, both of whom hold two first-round picks.
Angelo's goal, we're told would be to grab a receiver with the initial first-rounder, and then to address the offensive line with the second pick.
The mole also tells us that the Bears will be keeping close watch on Seahawks left tackle Walter Jones, who most likely won't receive the franchise tag for a fourth straight season.
