Let’s say Fields continues to play well down the stretch and the Bears pick up his option and ride with him next year.
I’d still love to see them draft a QB in the earlyish rounds. Not with a top 10 pick (unless someone falls into their lap), but as early as round 2 (if they get a 2nd in a trade).
Who are your guys’ favorite QB prospects in the 2nd and beyond?
One example off the top of my head. The Patriots when they had Brady. Matt Cassell, Jimmy G… there’s at least one more I’m forgetting. Anyways, the Patriots drafted QBs often and it paid off in spaids as far as keeping seasons going if Brady was hurt or bringing back hauls in trades. In the Bears’ current situation (a QB who could very likely get another year or two but you’re not totally sold on) it seems to make a ton of sense. Especially since they have so much draft capital.
