Interesting take on timing for potential Fields trade

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.  

I was wondering if you were arguing that Poles was going to take Williams because he was the "safe pick". 

From my admittedly limited experience watching Poles, I'd be surprised if he listens to 99% of any of the "experts" on anything to do with the draft.

I think his self-confidence is as big and anyone's.  Whether or not he will succeed will be played out of the next 6 - 18 months.
