What do you think they do? I think there’s a pretty good chance the Carolina pick is #1. I fear they might scratch out a few wins and move back with their own pick.
MHJ is without question the best prospect IMO. I’d take him at #1 unless…some team is willing to sell the farm for Caleb Williams or Maye. That being said I’m not sold on either of those two. Take MHJ and the best OL on the board with the second pick.
If a team is sold on Caleb or Maye…trade back. I really think there’s a chance that Penix, Nix, or Jayden end up being more serviceable NFL QBs and that gives you the excuse to sit them behind Fields for at least a year while you re-evaluate with a new coaching staff.
TLDR: I think there’s a near zero percent chance the Bears draft a QB at 1, nor should they.
I don’t think there’s a near 0% chance, but either one is entirely possible. It’s too much to speculate right now even, and it doesn’t make much sense.
There are factors aside from just Fields’ play that will come into the equation like if the new HC likes a prospect more than he does Fields, then even if Fields balls out he wouldn’t stay.
I’m honestly tired of having this talk like every single day because we truthfully won’t know the answer to the question until after they hire their new coach and the season ends
