    Best quote:
    "But the Bears were specifically chosen by the Raiders for the Mack trade because Oakland believed they represented the best opportunity to land future high draft picks. Whoops. The Bears are locked for the playoffs and perhaps more (additional info on that in a second) and Gruden's gonna end up getting No. 20 overall at best for a generational pass rusher. "

    And as Pat and I were discussing on the game thread, the 2nd we get in 2020 might also be really high for US, unless all these draft picks in 2019 magically turn the Raiders around next year.

    Too early to say who won the trade because maybe those picks turn into a team of probowlers that will wreck the league, but that seems a bit less likely at pick 20, heh. And Mack thus far has been worth every penny. Not just in his play, but in his leadership IMO.
