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.
Its gonna be Caleb Williams / Drake Maye
Poles has limited time and he can’t pass on a QB again. Passing on a QB means he’s basically risking his entire tenure on fields. Why do that when he can reset the clock, reset the contract situation, and get “his” guy?
This is what I think too I like fields and think he can be a good QB but you can’t pass on a QB two years in a row with the number 1 pick Caleb willliams immaturity scares me but I think he has a higher ceiling than drake maye
I don’t think that is true though. All the top teams built their teams first, then got the Qb. Ravens, Niners, Cowboys, Eagles, Chiefs, etc
This gets said a lot. But many of these teams didn’t plan on building the rest of the team first. They tried to get their QB while building, and either failed or the very least figured out he wasn’t quite good enough to get to the top level as the rest of the team got better. A lot of the time upgrading QB after the rest of the roster is built is plan B.
