By all appearances, it was an NFL Draft day that ended with a thud for the Chicago Bears. Their only pick, the 49th overall, was traded to Seattle for a third and fourth rounder tomorrow. But, an innocent-enough tweet sent over by Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times changed everything:
Angelo said the bears talked to cards about boldin but could not a deal done.
So you’re saying there’s a chance?
Once it became clear that their second-round pick would not entice the Cards to trade, the Bears tried to move up, motivated by their interest in Ohio State wide receiver Brian Robiskie, among others.
