Official- In Draft Thread

Why would that affect your view on the QB decision? Srs question.

Raised the floor of the offense to the point that I don't fear that we're going to suck next year and fire Flus and start all over next year.

Poles threaded the needle and this is the greatest QB development nest outside of what Mahomes had and what Purdy had. Bears ain't Bearsing this one.

MIN has a great support system as well. Maybe better?

Bills trade with Panthers.

Carolina just couldn't stand not being in the 1st round.

I missed it, which remaining QB did they select?

It's not even close to that. It is true for the #1 pick but lots of QBs chosen later have walked into clearly better development situations like being able to sit and watch for a period or simply getting drafted by a playoff team with more established coaching and offenses. We had our own 9th pick this year (bottom 3rd of the league) and the only significant adds before the draft were an OK center plus a better RB and top WR to replace a proven starters.

Fans are extrapolating the best ever situation for the #1 pick into something it isn't. I'm not trying to rain on this parade but just adding a bit of perspective.

Mitchell would be nice, but I prefer Arnold

told ya buddy, my sources are never wrong !!!!! LOL

Bears truly did a solid for Fields. With the ridiculous run on QBs - 6 in the first 12 picks. If they had held on until today.. they could have easily gotten a 3rd or maybe a late 2nd from someone like Raiders or Cowboys..

Why Cowboys?

My boy Bedard looks like he's in a hostage video here.

Hope they make a stupid choice like the lions do every year. Give us Harrison!

quite a few on here think Arnold was a quality pick, I'm guessing you don't agree

Minny has a good argument but Addison is young and Darnold is shaky so they might rush JJ out which would scare me if I were a fan of theirs.

DJ/Keenan are dudes who elevate their QBs just like Jefferson is. Clearly Jefferson is better than each of them but having BOTH of them is clearly better.

Addison vs Rome - Rome was drafted higher in a better wr draft, give me Rome.

Hockenson vs Kmet/Everett - Cole and TJ are roughly the same tier with TJ being a little more talented - once again the depth of our room makes our offense more dynamic.

Swift/Herbert/RoJo vs Jones/Chandler - wash

O'Connell vs Waldron - close to a wash with a slight edge to KOC

Basically the combo of top end talent and depth we have is absurd.

I mentioned Purdy and Mahomes but the only other situation that comes to mind is Herbert - he had Allen, Hunter Henry, Mike Williams and Ekler.

Feel free to name comparable situations.

HOLY MOLY GUACAMOLE!!

 

[hyatt151]

We certainly can't say this Bears' QB isn't set up for success. Bears gonna have one of the very best WR corps in the league.

on paper yes, problem with paper is injury's have'nt entered the picture yet

Let me show you the Bears depth chart and why it won’t matter if they have injuries

Williams: HOF’er
Bagent: borderline all-pro
Swift—Barry Sanders 2.0
Johnson—a superior Ronnie Harmon
Kmet—one of the GOATs at TE
Everett—another Antonio Gates
DJ Moore—Jerry Rice cant hold his jockstrap
Allen— Slot WR GOAT
Rome—Randy Moss 2.0
Tyler Scott—Antonio Brown without the headache
Dante Pettit—perennial pro bowler
Velus Jones—Devin Hester

Injuries won’t matter. Thanks.

Seriously? The Bears got the consensus #1 QB and one of the 3 consensus top 3 WRs.
And you think they should've traded down from that???

There is no player they would get later in the 1st or with a mid 2nd or mid 3rd that would make it worth trading down. It may come out like that in hind sight but for now, without hind sight, the Bears won the draft.

Absolutely right..............Bears just got two of the top 5 prospects in this draft. Quality over quantity
