Would it be insane to trade Justin Fields, draft Caleb Williams, and sign Kirk Cousins? Sign Cousins to a 2 year deal, mentor Williams while leading the Bears into contention. When his deal is up, Williams takes over and utilizes what he learned. Just a random thought.
I see 3 things the Bears doing in the upcoming NFL draft:
1. Select Caleb Williams, risk losing out on Marvin Harrison Jr
2. Trade down with either Washington or New England for a haul, select MHJ
3. Select Caleb Williams, trade Justin Fields and the 9th pick to also select MHJ
The closer the #NFLDraft gets, the more I'm convinced the Bears are in between keeping Justin Fields or drafting Caleb Williams. Gut tells me they're going latter. I love Fields, but with a new, elite OC who has the chance to coach a "generational" prospect. I'll miss Justin.
These guys should be at the top of the #Bears best available list: Marvin Harrison Jr, Malik Nabers, Rome Odunze, Brock Bowers. Ryan Poles wants to build through the draft, right? He any 2 with his first 2 picks, his offense is set up for the immediate future. Lit! π₯
If Caleb Williams truly is a generational, can't-miss prospect, then without a doubt draft him. Will the next OC be able to maximize his potential and lead the Bears to a Super Bowl victory? Then by all means. But what if he's JaMarcus Russell 2.0? Vince Young 2.0? Then what?
