I'm assuming you're talking about Williams. Sad to say, it won't take much in the passing dept for him to be a success relative to Fields. In his three years with the Bears, Justin averaged per season only 2200+ yards, 13 TDs and 10 INTs. Obviously those bad numbers aren't all on him. And...
At this point he's been my biggest disappointment. I've come to expect the usual letdowns of Eloy and Yoan, but I always hoped Vaughn was ready to break out. So far, not this year, not even remotely close.
Last up: Trading the pick
This option doesn't really call for top candidates or honorable mentions, altho we can always plug in names here. The big question is if Poles does seek a trade, will it be back or will he move up? I can't rule other names out completely, but the only one I see where...
3rd up: DE/Edge
Top candidates: Dallas Turner, Jared Verse, Laitu Latu
Honorable mention: Chop Robinson, Byron Murphy II (DT)
Pro: Our single biggest need by position, Montez Sweat needs a bookend to help take the double team pressure off him. It's the closest to our only glaring need on the...
Next up: OT
Top candidates: Joe Alt, Olu Fashanu, JC Latham
Honorable mention: Graham Barton
Pro: Can a team's OL ever be strong enough? While there is no gaping hole, getting a top rated tackle would only bolster an improving OL
Con: LT seems to be the key need, but is it really? PFF has...
One week from tonite, diehards!!!
So it's pretty much been down to what Poles will do at #9, being Williams with the first pick is a foregone conclusion. And with that it's also pretty much down to 3 key positions: OT, WR, and DE/Edge. Guess in we can throw in a 3.5 by adding DT. Don't think...
Tell us something we don't already know:

LOL, actually yeah you're right. I still recall soooooooo vividly during the regular season that a sizable percentage of Bears fans, including yours truly, were counting on Fields to improve to the point that we didn't need to draft any QB and instead count on the immense haul we'd receive in...
I'm pretty sure Poles and his key people have mapped out the various scenarios as far as how the draft will unfold. But I like to think that they're all being tight lipped, as any leaked info won't help them at all.
Another wasted solid outing from a starting pitcher. Our pen might be the worst in all of baseball.
On the bright side we scored two whole runs!!!!!!!!!!
Kinda my same sentiment. I really thought and still think it's a well thought, well laid out draft. But as you point out, where's the chaos that seems to be a part of every draft? Won't there be some team that zigs when every other team zags? Guess we have to wait and find out.
Yep, we all are, and that's what makes it so much fun. A lot of variables are at play in this draft to go along with a super talented draft class. Hell, if all the top picks in the first round were already set in stone, there'd be little drama leading up to draft night. I think this will be...
I caught the show on the NFL Network last night - I think it was Path to the Draft - that featured Schrager with his stupid trade back scenario where the Bears pass on Malik Nabers at 9 and instead trade back with the Colts, who of course in turn immediately take Nabers. And get this, he has...
Exactly. By no means do I think the chart is the end all to determining who should get what when it comes to trading draft capital. Generally speaking, I think a team trading up should probably give a bit more than what the guideline calls for.
