The whole drama at Washington with the possible hiring of Kliff Kingsbury now that he withdrew from LV is interesting. C.Wills QB coach going to Washington possibly? Could there be a boat load of a deal coming Poles way for the #1?

Unless they do an insane offer like 3 first round picks, 3 second round picks. It would be wise for the Bears to just stay where they're at and pick Williams.
I think Maye will be a good QB but Williams gives you that flexibility of having a QB who can scramble if needed. You kinda need that in todays NFL.

Williams is the better athlete. But Maye is a very good athlete too. Maye actually rushed for more yards per game than Williams. He is not the old school immobile statue pocket-passer. Williams played 30 college games and ran for 907 yards for a 30.2 yards per game average. Maye played 22 college games and ran for 879 yards for a 39.9 yards per game average. I'm not saying he's better than Williams running. He's not. But he is pretty decent if he has to run. They did have designed run plays for Maye... he's that good anyway.

I have read that Maye is compared to Josh Allen.
You would have to search high and low to find a mock draft where Poles drafts Maye. On the other hand, about 99% have Williams. Virtually all the “experts” also predict Williams. That makes Williams the safer pick in that Poles would be going with the flow rather than against the consensus opinion of nearly the whole football world.
The only interesting question at this point is what he does at #9. He will probably draft an edge rusher, but some people will want a WR to complement Moore.

Are you saying that Poles will draft Williams, for sure? No nuances, just is that what you believe?

The only nuance I take somewhat seriously is that Williams blows up in his interview with Poles. Poles says he looks at the tape and the “person” and needs to be blown away by the guy. Fields has a ton of locker room support, so that could be a problem for Williams if he starts out 1-4.

I would question that because the mocks are often wrong. If there is a deal-breaker issue the Bears uncover with Williams we probably won't know what it is - we just need for Poles and the Bears to do their due-diligence to uncover any of these issues. So often fans, podcasters and the talking-sports-heads, see the college production as a "done deal" that the kid will transition to super-stardom at the NFL level. They often don't. And I would add that some of the greatest QBs in NFL history were passed over by teams who drafted other kids instead. Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes are just a few on a long list of that kind of thing.
So just because "the football world" so to speak goes one way - it may be the WRONG way.
