NFL teams screw up so many simplistic things.  Chicago knew Nagy's time was short.....then drafted Fields for Nagy to waste time with.   If they were going to draft someone like Fields they should of hired a HC that could come up with him.  Stability. 

It's like the Panthers.  They are going to let lameduck Matt Rhule waste a top 10 pick on Pickett.  Fire Rhule.  Bring in a new HC.  He most likely isn't going to want Pickett but his own QB. 

 

This is why I hope we don't go QB at 6. Tepper and Fitts have to anticipate Rhule returning for year 4 is at best 50-50. Drafting such unique QBs this year that may or may not jive with an incoming staff has to be taken into account when drafting so high this year.

Ekonwu/Neal at 6 or sliding back to 9 or 11 along with re-signing Bozeman in '23 makes way more sense long-term to build this OL out with youth. Send a draft pick to BAL or PHI for Huntley or Minshew. 

The odds of Rhule leading us to anything better than a 7-10 or 8-9 season with Willis/Pickett/Corral is not happening. Why create potential roadblocks to hiring a better HC/OC next year.
