The Bears should be looking to get all they can out of Washington for the pick and go from there. I don’t think it ends well drafting a guy that doesn’t want to play for you anyway, sounds like it will be a problem from day 1.
On the other hand I hate all these trade back scenarios where the Bears fall out of range to grab one of the elite players in the draft (like MHJ) and wind up with another player they have to cough up a big salary for (like the Raiders deal).. at some point you accumulate these high draft picks in anticipation of winding up to be in a position to draft generational talent like MHJ or Maye or whoever.. so build thru the draft and don’t pass up on these types of players when the opportunity presents itself. This is especially true when you’ll still acquire future picks in trades with teams like Washington.
I am not sure is Williams is the answer... What does MHJ add to this offense? Fields averaged around 17.5 completions a game this past year. Does it go up to 20? I wonder if any thought has been put into trading for an established QB, perhaps Herbert?
Not sure Williams is the answer either but after 3 years and two coaches I’m pretty sure Fields isn’t either. Like I said in another post, it doesn’t take this long to know if someone is ‘the guy’.. by now you know. What we know about Fields is that he holds on to the ball too long, overthrows wide open receivers or just flat out doesn’t see them. That’s been consistent thru all 3 years and most likely isn’t going away regardless of scheme or coach.
As for MHJ.. the point I’m trying to make is that you shouldn’t pass on generational talent when you have a chance to take a swing at it. 1st off it’s not even available in most drafts, it’s generational so it only comes along once in a while. 2nd, why aquire all these high picks in the 1st place? It’s in the hopes to position yourself to land a Williams or MHJ.. so now that they have, take the swing.
As for trading for an established QB that’s pie in the sky talk. Herbert isn’t available and it’s incredibly rare when they do become available -and I no longer feel Wilson is elite so that talk is dead to me if he’s brought up. The Bears are in the best possible position right now to take another swing at this position in the draft and it just so happens they’ve landed in a unique position where 2 generational talents are at their disposal. One is a QB another is a WR, and if they go the WR route they have the luxury of trading back just a couple spots acquiring more future top picks while securing a can’t miss type of guy.. but that’s all for nothing if they trade back too far and wind up out of the mix for that type of player.
