I’m more & more convinced the Bears’ best hope is that Houston falls in love with somebody. If not, I don’t think the pressure is there for anybody to pay a huge cost for 1/1.

This scenario could also unfold

The Bears get a desperate Colts team give up 3! future first round draft picks(including the #4 overall this year) for the first round pick.

The Colts shock everyone on draft day select Jack Campbell, an inside linebacker from Iowa with their 1st overall pick

The Bears trade down again with the Panthers, to #9

For some strange reason, Bryce Young starts to slip in the draft, character concerns.

The Colts, seizing on this opportunity, strike a deal with Atlanta for the #8 pick, for 3 future 2nd round picks.

The Bears, wanting to select Young as a replacement for Fields, get a call from the Colts who now hold the #8 pick and threaten to take Bryce Young

A desperate Poles, returns all 3 future 1st round picks to Indianapolis and Jack Sanborne, whom the Colts demand.

The Bears draft Young and the Colts then draft Bijan Robinson, the Running Back out of Texas and walk out of the first round with Campbell and Robinson and with all their picks.

In this scenario Poles is the pancake eating motherfucker?

yea it seems to be a general assumption that someone is going to pay a huge cost to get the pick, what if they aren't.

Jack Campbell's grandpa was hit by a car and killed in Nashville the night before his bowl game. Continue on...

That's why he will go #1, other people will argue against Ballard drafting him that high because he appears to commit dumb penalties, until an emotional film session when a young scout points out he was just playing with emotion because of his family member dying, Ballard goes to the mens room and at that point commits to him as his #1 overall pick, infuriating the Colts owner who has flown to the draft.

Well if they truly are satisfied with Fields they can enjoy taking who they perceive as the very best player in the draft which will be a huge upgrade to the team. That is a pretty good worst-case scenario.

Nashvegas brutal on NFL players' families:

Beathard. Probably Caller Bob's last name IRL.

Frank? I agree.

Why would Indy care about getting the 4th qb in the draft ? The Bears found their future HoF qb there couple years ago.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

I'd be completely happy taking Anderson with the first pick.

Look at "Far Too Early 23 Mock Drafts" created across these here internets just after the 22 draft ended. Anderson is 1/1 on almost every one. I bet our super sleuths can even find posts hoping we could possibly so lucky as to draft him.

Tennessee's fucked up like that. They'll give perps who've committed pre-cursor-to-major-crimes violent crimes slaps on the wrist (you only need to serve 30 percent of your state sentence in TN before getting out on parole--10 year sentence for aggravated assault? out in 3. 20 years for 2nd degree? out in 6) over and over again; but then when that person finally manages to kill someone they lock em up and throw away the key--without realizing had they been tougher on the lower-level violent criminals they might not have graduated to homicide.

Keep an eye on Hendon Hooker to ascend in this draft as well. They guy gets no pub and was basically as good as any QB this year, including the beloved Caleb Williams

Hooker's older than Velus Jones and injured currently(?), I think. he can probably sneak back into the late 1st round / early 2nd round with a good combine and clean bill of health.

Age isn't as big of a deal with QB, certainly not a pocket passer like him. The ACL is a bit of a concern and he won't be fully healed by draft day.

Holy shit, it takes somethin to be older than Velus Jones

Hyatt made Hooker look occasionally competent.

hyatt came into the season as their #2, so maybe it was the exceptional Hooker who made Hiatt look like a #1

Hooker was damn good, that is for sure.

Hooker was the first quarterback I spent over an hour looking at. I came away loving Hyatt.

I promise you there will be GM/scouts who see Levis throw and will have to have him. He is Mahomes and Cutler

He's tough. His fingers on his throwing hand were mangled, and he put them back in place and kept pushing. Cutler wouldn't have done that in the Super Bowl.

To your point, Levis makes some questionable decisions, but he also drops dimes that are frequently dropped. You can't teach Mahomes or Favre like aggressiveness. You can harness it with the right coaching.

Let's get back to talking about the Hooker at the Hyatt

I just don't see the Bears keeping that first pick....ONE of the teams is gonna go QB Coo-Coo.

yea for sure, it's a good worst case to take the #1 pick
But you need quantity
I mean is anyone here arguing that they SHOULD take the #1 pick ? (whoever it is )
general consensus seems to be they trade down to #3 and get 100 extra picks, then they trade down from there to get 100 more

Trade down so you can end up with the entire 7th round. SUPER BEARS SUPER BOWL
