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.
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?
