How to Save Justin Fields and the Bears Makes a Lot of Sense

That's how I'm leaning right now too.  I do hope we get to see Fields finish the season strong.  Then build the O roster up around him.  I'd so love to see Marvin Harrison Jr in a Bears uni.  Bring in a stud C.  Improve the OL depth too.    

I wouldn't draft a C with a 1st round pick.  I think the ideal would be with a 2nd round pick (most drafts have the best C going in the 2nd round... not always but often).  But we don't have our 2nd round pick anymore.  OTOH we do have (what should be) a very very high 3rd round pick.  One of those top-3 centers in this draft should be there for that pick.  Or, maybe Poles can make some deal to get us back a 2nd round pick.  There are different ways to do this.  I just don't want some deadbeat veteran brought in - and we continue to watch the failures on game day at C.  

If our top three picks went MHJ-Newton/Latu-Top Center I would be beyond hyped, that's how you need to build this thing.

I'd love to trade down to 2/3 and get MHJ and some more picks but I'd rather stick at 1 (hypothetically, if that's where we are) and get him rather than miss out. Depends on draft order. Not sure if Cards/GMen are going QB and wonder what Pats are gonna do.

Did you watch that Josh Lucas interview on Hoge & Jahns?  It is very informative on Fields and his top 5 draft prospects.  He gave two or three reasons why Bears will draft Williams #1.  He wants to draft tackle Latham with the second pick unless the Bears have a narrow gap between him and Latu in playing ability.  In that case, you take Latu because DE is a greater need than tackle. Harrison then almost surely goes to whatever team drafts #2.
