Bears like two QB's other than CW in draft.

Chicago Bears Reportedly Intrigued By Two Other Top Draft QBs

Everybody has heard Caleb Williams is the guy to beat for the Chicago Bears. However, it appears he has challengers.

Bill Zimmerman says Jayden Daniels and JJ MCCarthy.

I'd be all for keeping Fields while taking McCarthy outside the top 15 if you could pull it off....

Only issue is- JJ will never last outside of 12/13 to Denver and Vegas.

Please God, no JJ McCarthy! He is more slight than Daniels (for those who name thin stature as a strike against), spent his senior season hardly throwing the ball at all (wasn't allowed to unless necessary), and there was only one clutch throw in the Natty, to the tight end over the middle which, I might add, was misplayed by the Safety. Could have been broken up.

Seriously, what about McCarthy screams franchise QB? His own coach didn't trust him to throw the ball.

More about plays style when I refer to their frames. Jayden's quick to ditch and run if the intended throw isn't there. At the end of the day, these are all projections and difficult for even GMs to collate.

Not saying I'd do this.....but there we're whispers out there that Poles was eyeing JJ a while ago:

Trade down from 1 to 2 then 3 or straight to 3 for the "haul" (at least 1 2025 1st + addtl 2024 + 2025 2nd's)

Take MHJ

Draft JJ at #9

Trade Fields....hopefully for a 2 + future

Sign Kirk Cousins to fully guarantee 2 year deal with large signing bonus to minimize cap hit next 2 years

Gives them a ton on draft capital, a possible generational inexpensive wr, a rookie qb to sit and develop for 1.5-2 years and a vet qb who cand immediately win with a possible 2024 playoff roster

Lots of moving parts but within the realm of doable and fits current budget landscape

This is the play, albiet I think with someone more like a Ryan Tannehill on a one year deal.

No thanks on daniels...Might as well just keep fields then, no?

True...........Keep Fields unless you are taking Williams with the first pick.

Isn't JJ the one people were freaking out about Harbaugh demanding for us to hire him?

Way too many people who spend too much time playing Madden.

The reality is that you've got 2 elite talents in this draft (Williams and Harrison Jr.) and we've got the 1st overall pick. If you don't come out of this draft with one of those guys then Poles should be immediately fired. You need top-line players to win the NFL, especially this team which has been devoid of them for so long.

This is the play, albiet I think with someone more like a Ryan Tannehill on a one year deal.

He'd be the backup/cheap option buy really doesn't do much for bears chances to win next year and could force mccarthy into action in year 1 and likely year 2

It's what they should do
