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.
If we have the number 1 pick there’s a 100% chance they’re taking Caleb unless Fields puts up MVP numbers the rest of the season. He’s been too inconsistent for any GM to give him the benefit of the doubt going into his 4th and 5th year extension.
So, speaking as someone who would prefer to keep Fields and take MHJ…
Caleb Williams is being very underrated at this point, and would look like Bagent with a cannon in our offense. I just worry that Chicago will destroy him.
I don’t know what to do with that information other than post it here. Just a semi-random thought for the draft speculation thread of the day.
My thoughts on the draft. Trade down and get as much capital as you can.
Anybody else think that the Bears have already made the decision that they are moving on from Fields and the game plan against Detroit reflected that?
They called more quarterback runs and moved the pocket a ton with very few straight drop backs. That kind of game plan makes Fields look good which is pretty obvious to everyone. So the question is why now? Why haven’t they been doing that the whole year?
Is it possible they’ve completed their evaluation and want to have Fields play well the remainder of the season to up his trade value?
The meltdown on this sub when they realize that this team is drafting a qb with a top pick next year is going to be glorious to watch.
If the bears draft a qb, these Fields stans will be in here nitpicking every mistake the rookie makes
I’m not a Fields Stan by any means, but I do root for whoever is under center for the Bears whether it be Bagent, Trubisky, Fields whoever it is.
I’m not opposed to the idea of drafting Maye or Williams, but I’m not gonna root for a player who isn’t even on our team yet lol
Why not root for the guy we currently have till the end of the year and if we change QB’s, root for the next guy. It’s that simple. If you’re rooting for Fields to fail, then you’re just as bad as the people who would root for Caleb or Maye to do bad here just to prove a point
It’ll honestly become apparent before draft day even. Let’s say they have the first pick and trade down, that just automatically tells me that they’re not going the QB route. We will probably know the answer to the question by next March.
As of right now there isn’t a right answer obviously and both opinions are valid and have their advantages and disadvantages
There is a right answer lol, Fields hasn’t shown any signs of consistency and has only marginally improved year over year. Yes he has 7 games to show that he’s suddenly become a star QB, I could also bang margot robbie but neither is happening.
