    What I keep going back to are the teams that in the playoffs every year and going far in the playoffs without elite QB play. They all focus on team building first through the draft and then they get the QBs that drop to them.

    The Chiefs before Mahomes. The Eagles before Hurts. San Fran before Purdy. The Ravens before Lamar.

    The blueprint is there. Keep collecting talent in the draft and let the qb drop to you because you have a boatload of picks and can do it.

    This is why I think the Bears keep Fields and trade back. It allows them to further stack their team and take a Qb that drops to them if Fields doesn’t pan out in year 4 or his 5th year extension year.

    We don’t have to rush into a qb pick this year. We can be patient with Fields, stack the team and then ounce in 25 or 26 draft if a qb drops to us.

      I think this is the approach that will keep this team competitive year in and year out. That’s all I want. Especially with how many injuries there are on every team at every position nowadays.
