Bears at #1

[Shocker]

Lets talk about the possibility of the Bears moving on from Justin Fields and selecting another QB (probably Caleb Williams)

There are some very compelling ideas here:

Reset the salary structure with a rookie QB and take Caleb (or someone else) #1

Stick with Fields and trade the #1 pick for a treasure trove of assets

Now…if a team in the top 3 wants a trade up I am doing that immediately.

I don’t really think Caleb is better than these other QBs.  I personally like Daniels at #1.  
Also like Maye over Caleb.  
 

So if I can’t get a trade I would draft Daniels and wait on Fields personally.  Until someone gives me a great trade (which will happen) he is a Bear.

Post your thoughts

I would keep the pick and reset the QB salary clock. I would take Maye.

The most likely conclusion is they take Williams one

The second most likely is washington gets desperate and gives them a kings ransom to move up one spot, in which case they would take Maye 2 (the media is kidding themselves right now believing it's not williams 1a and maye 1b). 

I can't see any scenario Chicago does anything other than those two things

I’d trade the pick for a ton of picks.  Caleb Williams is a mega tool, massive headache, and carries higher odds of flat out busting than a Luck/Trevor/factory robot type. 

smart play is to trade him and keep roster building.   Even if you eventually move on from Fields I think that leads to the best outcome for the team.

Agree…I saw a hypothetical trade where Washington moves up 1 pick and it still cost them a first next year along with other picks.

I mean seriously, why even make this topic? It's bad enough we dont have the pick we dont need to be reminded of all the different possibilities the bears have to become a real franchise as we stay dog poo with no picks. Usually bad teams cant stay bad for long bc of the draft but we found a way! cudos
