The Chicago Bears are facing a major decision as they hold the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft for the second consecutive year. After a 7-10 season, the team is looking to improve their roster and make a big splash in the upcoming draft.
One option for the Bears is to trade the pick and stick with their current quarterback, Justin Fields. However, there is also speculation that they could trade Fields and draft a new QB, such as USC’s Caleb Williams.
Last year, the Bears traded the No. 1 pick to the Panthers and received multiple draft picks and DJ Moore in return. The top pick has been traded 13 times since 1967, showing that it is not unheard of for a team to move on from the top selection.
With several teams in the top half of Round 1 in need of a new quarterback, there is no shortage of potential trade partners for the Bears. Draft analyst Field Yates has even come up with hypothetical trade offers for the No. 1 pick and for Fields.
Bears reporter Courtney Cronin weighed in on each scenario and ultimately made a decision on which path the team should take. The Bears are facing a huge decision on whether to stick with Fields or make a move for a new QB on offense.
As the draft approaches, all eyes will be on the Chicago Bears as they look to make the right move to improve their team for the upcoming season. Stay tuned to Insider Wales Sport for all the latest updates on the Bears’ draft strategy.
