What would you give the bears for #1 pick

That's nice, but from just googling.

Daniel Jeremiah 2022 NFL mock draft 4.0: Steelers, Lions select QBs; Cowboys pick WR

2022 NFL Mock Draft: final projection on draft day - Sports Illustrated

If you follow mocks, you'll know that writers will come up with all sorts of random scenarios to generate clicks. I generally stick with established mock drafters, and community mock drafts done by writers for specific teams. 

I hear you, but even you were saying Howell and maybe Willis were above Pickett even after all of those established mock drafters and community writers.

DJ's co-worker, Chad Reuter of NFL.com, also had Corral going #6 to Carolina, Ridder going to PIT @ #12, and Howell going to TEN @ #14: link

Which all supports my original point that it is way too early to assume that all of the top QB prospects will be unavailable at #9. If we want to assume that the top 2 are gone, that's fair, but that could also change based on how teams address their QB position in free agency when it begins in March.

Post quoting an Observer article pointing out the possibility of Ridder going at the end of the first.

There are other examples out there showing Corral and Howell being discussed as potential late 1st rounders, especially with Howell (some here even considered him QB1 in the class). Malik not going in the 1st was a huge shock here after all of the clamoring during the offseason. 

I’ve learned now. 
Go what what they’re saying now pre combine, pro days etc.  and then the week before draft.  Avg those 2 out and you’ll get a better idea.

This time last year.  Pickett was the only one they had going in rd 1.  With Corral, Willis, and Ridder rd 2 guys with “potential to rise”

That’s when the underwear Olympics came.  And now it’s televised, and the NFL is QB thirsty (which a good reason why.  It the single most import position in all of sports).

The Pro day comes 
First Willis comes out in his Spandex.  And he does that roll out bomb down field that Zach Wilson and Fields did that lit the football world on fire.  Next Ridder and then Corral.  Then the whole draft world was on a high.  That’s when you started seeing mocks him crazy saying “if you don’t move up from ___, you might not get him.” Narrative started.

 

As you got closer to the draft.  You saw the high fade off and the dust start to settle.  Some people were still on the high from those Twitter clips of those pro days.  But the scouts continued to comb through the film and confirmed what they said going into the post CFB draft season.

Daniel Jeremiah had 1 QB in his top 25 overall prospects.

Right now he has 4 QBs in the top 13

 

 

Also of you notice.  This time last year.  People were hyping up Stroud and Young as the next thing.  Stroud coming off that Rosebowl.  People were already talking him up like Burrow “if he were eligible, he’d ho top 3 in the draft. (Kind of sound familiar to 2 other guys we’re talking about for 2024)

These QBs are already hyped this early in the scouting community and draft analysts community, Before the pro days.

Levis and ARich come out their pro day and sling it.  People will be getting Chubs.  Richardson is a lot bigger faster and stronger than Willis.  And both  Levis/Richardson have Justin Herbert/Josh Allen level cannon.  So when they roll out and throw it 70 yards with ease on the Proday.  Everyone is going to freak out. (By the way Levis is a pretty good athlete as well, if he tests at the combine people are going to lose it)

9th overall, 2024 1st, 2023 2nd (ours), 2023 3rd (49ers). Probably not any more than that and I don't think that would get it done.

 

We'd be without our 1st next year (but hopefully it would be late with us making the playoffs with the boosts that Reich and Stroud give us in this crappy division). And this year we'd still have a 2nd round pick and a 4th and two 5ths. Not terrible...

Rumors are the new Bears GM is not in love with Fields. 

 

Colin Cowherd said at the end of his show he has a source within the Bears front office and they will try to trade Fields.

That would shake up the whole draft because im guessing one of those teams that need a QB will try and trade for Fields.

Im guessing we will go after Fields especially if the Bears take Stroud or Young #1.

 

Burns/#9 for Fields should get it done.

Wouldn't that be embarrassing for us?  The QB that was sitting there two years ago and we should have drafted in the first place.  With that said I would still love for him to be a Panther.

For what it's worth it is officially smokescreen season and that HC and GM very well could be guys with their eye on a particular QB or another one and throw this out there to get other GMs/HCs further questioning themselves. That type of thing absolutely happens in draft season, a lot. 

 

I think overall this QB class has concerns but Young and Stroud are both solid prospects and worth taking a shot on in the top 5-10 picks. Levis and Richardson have upside but are big bust candidates too.

Yeah the CMC picks plus next year's first basically.  I would be ok with that, but like you said I doubt they take that offer....

And what that HC/GM said in the article actually happened.  Only 1 QB taken in the 1st 2 rounds.  None in the top 20.

 

Levis and Richardson had top 20 grades by a majority of before “smokescreen season” started this week.

Yeah I will be happy with any of the 4 at 9.

[Martin]

In a perfect world you trade for the number 1 pick before free agency starts. Then you know exactly what you have and how to set up free agency. I’d offer three first round picks and give them a week to respond. Then we still have two second rounders and one third rounder this year to surround the rookie QB with additional weapons. There is no way that happens, but that’s how I would do it if possible.

Personally past on young, even he shows up at the combine with a bloated moon face...
