So, I, like all of us, have been thinking about the draft and the Bears direction moving forward. All of us, I think, are convinced one of two things happen in
1) Bears keep Fields and have field day with 2 picks in the first round
OR
2) Bears trade Fields and draft Williams or Maye
Now, what if we are blindsided and neither of these happen. Could that end up being the best scenario? What if Poles and crew want to move on from Fields but don't believe that Williams or Maye will be the best NFL QB? What if they want to land Nix or Daniels? What if the draft ends up looking something like this:
Bears trade #1 overall to Atlanta for #8 overall, ATL's 2nd rounder (#48 overall), and ATL's 1st round pick in 2025 (and most likely more, based on previous returns for #1 overall.
Bears take Nix or Daniels with #8 overall
Bears take OL, DE, or WR with #9 overall
Bears, now with a 2nd round pick (we currently don't have a pick in the 2nd round), take BPA (assuming there is an impactful player available or the 2nd round) or take the best OL, DE, or WR remaining that is NOT the position drafted at #9 overall.
How would you all feel about this? Would you be happy to pass on Williams and Maye for Nix or Daniels? (Personally, I want NOTHING to do with Williams) and at the same time add a 2nd rounder and another 1st for next year? This feels like a move that would have not been out of the question if Jerry Angelo was still here. It seemed like he never took the guy that was the BPA or that everyone expected him to take, whether he was trying to prove he knew more than everyone else or if their scouting indeed always pointed a different direction I think we'll never know.
So, how would you all feel if it went down like this?
