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.
When we say MHJ is the best prospect without question… uhh, I question that. Dozens of analysts question that.
I am absolutely not against drafting him. But there are other collegiate receivers having great years. Jamar Chase was a great prospect. I would have 100% taken Sewell given the choice. The Bears traded an early first round pick for Moore. Are they really going to spend a second on MHJ?
