After reading the comments to the story on ESPN, it looks like Bears fans think they are getting rooked. While not true - the 6th pick is an incredibly good bargaining chip - it's really not that one sided.
Briggs is the franchise player, a straight up trade for him is 2 1st rounders. In this trade, we actually keep a 1st rounder and get a pro-bowl player.
My only real problem with the trade is that we have such a big hole on the DL and by trading down we lose the opportunity to trade the 6th for more shots in the annual crapshoot. Plus, I guess this means Rocky is pretty much a bust.

Yeah but what franchise-tagged player is ever actually worth 2 first rounders? Sean Gilbert certainly wasn't, just ask the Panthers.
We better be getting additional picks besides just the 31st in this deal. Otherwise I'm about done defending Gibbs and his front office moves.
