Expert Says: Chicago Bears Will Receive Huge Draft Pick in Justin Fields Trade.
The internal Chicago Bears argument continues unabated. Should the Bears select USC blue chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams with their first overall pick in this year’s NFL draft instead of starting quarterback Justin Fields? Alternatively, should they bench Fields, use their two first-round selections (number one and nine) to surround him, and hope that his increased consistency and better field position will propel him to elite status?
When they fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert, and running backs coach Omar Young last week, general manager Ryan Poles and the Bears front office already signaled their priority on offensive overhaul.
ESPN First Draft’s Mel Kiper Jr. is a big fan of selecting Williams and dealing the gifted but occasionally capricious Fields. The veteran NFL analyst thinks Chicago might earn a first round pick for Fields in this year’s draft, despite some opinions to the contrary.
lkmlThere is a larger market for Fields since there are more teams looking for a top quarterback. Many believe Fields is only one or two adjustments away from being a highly effective franchise quarterback. His outstanding season-ending performance undoubtedly increased his trade worth.
The 7-10 Atlanta Falcons, whose patience with starting quarterback Desmond Ridder may have run out after just two seasons, could be one of those quarterback-hungry teams. It makes sense for the team to add a new quarterback who can steer the squad in a different direction along with the hiring of a new head coach.
Amazing quarterback two years ago, then he had some problems starting truly with the Arizona game and the Notre Dame game, according to Kiper. But in the end, we conclude that “it’s an unknown with Caleb Williams” after looking at his entire body of work, fielding abilities with his arm talent, field vision, and instinctiveness as a quarterback. People claim that Justin Fields is well-known for it. No, it isn’t. Justin Fields’ (quarterback) ability to be a franchise is uncertain. It’s true that there are unknowns regarding Caleb. Justin doesn’t know either. I will thus reset the clock. I’m going to take Caleb Williams.
