The average Bears starter is 27 years old (meaning drafted in '04 or earlier), and you haven't drafted a Pro Bowl player since 2006. You haven't drafted a Pro Bowl, non-special teams player since 2004. Maybe that's why I made that comment.

More importantly, every time anyone trades a high draft pick for a player, it doesn't work out. I can't think of any times it's worked out in recent memory.
How many teams have drafted a pro-bowl player since 2006? Just for comparison.

Re: Gaines Adams is now a Bear

I notice the Steelers (who have won 2 Super-Bowls in the same time period) are not on that list... But a couple of awful teams are. Food for thought.....

Oh, and for the research
Nice

Titans have been money with their drafts as far as Pro Bowlers go. Although Vince Young was one of their 4...

Exactly. You can't call us terrible with these statistics.

Thanks for the research.

'Aight you win. I still don't like trading second-round picks for busts, nor does not having a first-round pick in three out of five years sound appealing. But the Colts got away with a Super Bowl by pulling the same move for Anthony McFarland, so maybe it'll work out for you.
