Bears fans - what do you want from the draft next year? From an outside perspective this draft feels SO hard to navigate for you. Do you want MHJ + Oline help and go all in on Fields, now with a much better offense? Do you want to take a new franchise QB at 1? If so, Williams or May?
What to do with Fields seems like the hardest call. He hasn’t looked like a franchise qb per se, but offensive play calling and OL may be playing a factor. Could see him getting traded to a more stable team and being really solid (could also see him continue being mediocre)
Packer fan opinion here, so take it with a grain of salt I guess. I think not taking a QB at 1 would be a huge mistake. Fields is out of contract after next season, and I really don't think he's shown anywhere near enough to be seen as the QB of the future. Williams or Maye would have 3-4 years to develop with most likely a new coach at the helm. Use pick 4 on a tackle so the protection should hopefully be good for them in those years. I get the MHJ talks, but I really don't think the pass catchers are that big of an issue. Moore is a legit WR1, and they have more than enough cap space and draft capital to get a WR2 in the building in the offseason.
Packer fan as well but I agree with you completely. Fields is in year 3 and the betting lines don't move much whether he's playing or Bagent is playing. That's a massive red flag for me. Williams will be generational.
