A unique Bears way on QB strategy. You won't believe this!

I mean this will be the biggest news for the whole offseason. 

What do the Bears do with Fields/1st overall pick. A team that isn't bad like the Patriots or Commanders. 

I look forward to when a trade is set in place rather its Fields or #1 overall pick so we can truly start seeing real news about the team. 

This is a career defining moment for Poles. This will shape the Bears legacy going forward. 

One of two things I see happening.

He goes after the best QB prospect since Luck and drafts Williams and goes after the best WR/TE at #9.

Or

He sticks with Fields, trades down to Commanders or New England. Grabs the next Calvin Johnson and grabs another offensive piece at #9. Either TE or Tackle. Who ever is first or even trades that pick down for more picks. 

If we trade Fields, IMO we need to get at least a half decent 2nd round pick.  I don't know if we can, but we need something in the top half of the 2nd to be guaranteed getting one of the top 2 or 3 OC prospects in the draft class.  If we get that and we take Williams at #1, we need to get another #1 WR at #9 and an OC with the 2nd round pick.  I know we need additional help on the DL but if we get a rookie QB starting from 2024 game 1, we need 2 #1 WRs and a really solid OC.  I've looked at all the top QBs in this draft class and they all play like crap if they have a pass rush in their face right at the snap, and that includes Williams.  This would  delay the complete defense rebuild a bit.  But if Poles believes that Caleb Williams is the 2nd coming of Mahomes and/or Brady, he need to make sure he gets absolutely the most out of that investment from the word go.

If we keep Fields (and I am not saying that we must do this), a lot of the draft analysts are saying that there will be an extra "Williams tariff" for the privilege of getting the #1 pick to be able to get Williams for sure.  I am assuming we would swap picks with Washington and get something like their 2nd (#36) and 3rd (#67) round picks.  This would allow us to take MHJ at #2, hopefully a stud DL (either edge or 3-tech) at #9 and maybe even JPJ at #36.  I have seen mocks where the publisher of the mock claims that Poles could do a double trade down (swap #1 for #2 and then swap #2 for #3) and still get MHJ at #3 and have both the #34 and #36 pick the the 2nd round.  But I think they are doing some really scary drugs.

Again, this is all personal speculation and I happily admit I have been wrong before (and many times before). I could very easily be wrong now. And for sure, I will be wrong many times in the future.  But the scenario where Poles trades down at least once is the "doozie of a deal" I was referring to.

In any event and regardless of how it actually plays out, I totally agree with you that this is going to be Poles' career defining moment.  Whatever he and Cunningham come up with, I hope they don't just get it right, I hope they hit it out of the park.  Because we will be set for years to come.

Oh well, the ice has melted in my glass of Bears Kool-Aid. Time for a refill.
