Trade Fields and draft Williams or Maye?
Keep Fields and draft Harrison Jr?
Keep Fields and trade top pick?
I think they're close to being a good to really good football team. And I think Fields can lead a playoff/Superbowl level team, if he has the right team and right approach around him. So I'd keep Fields if I were Poles. I think Poles deserves more time, by the way. He did a great job with last year's number 1 pick decision. And I think has built this team fairly well around Fields, to this point. Eberflus? Ehh, not sure on him. They've blown a number of leads late in games. I wouldn't be suprised if Poles stays, and Eberflus goes.
I think what they do with the number 1 pick then, depends on how the draft order ends up shaking out.
Marvin Harrison Jr is a can't miss elite WR. So a case could be made to draft him at 1. But I wouldn't do that. Fields is likely never going to be a guy that effectively spreads the ball around evenly to all receivers. They have an elite receiver already. And Mooney is a decent supporting receiver. I'm not sure you'd get the value out of both Moore and Harrison, with Fields as the QB. And I'm not sure they should push to play that way with Fields.
Assuming both the 2nd and 3rd picks are teams that will be needing QBs. Giants, Commanders, Patriots, Titans...maybe even the Cardinals. THEN, I think you smoke screen like they did last year by fully evaluating Williams and Maye. And then right before the draft, similar to last year, you trade the pick to the team picking 3rd (assuming the haul back is huge). Recent NFL exec polls indicate they'd get back at least what they got for last year's top pick, even if it were a trade with a fellow top 5 pick team...which is unheard of.
THEN...I'd seek out any teams that might be clamoring for Harrison Jr...Chargers and Jets are great candidates here I would think...and I'd trade that pick again...
If you could come out of it with the 7th or 8th pick, the 10th ish pick, AND some more future first and second rounders...I think that'd be a huge win. Use those early first round picks on best available OL, DL, secondary guys.
Or...Draft Williams and Trade Fields. Use the cap space to give Williams as good an offensive line as possible, and hopefully find him a couple good veteran receivers.
Thoughts? And apologies no pictures of any chicks in Bears apparel...
