Shaun King says Mind or Trask will be better than Wilson...and he didn't stutter. Says "Write it down!"

I will respectfully disagree.  Darnold plus either Sewell or Horn was the low risk decision.  Before either steps on the field, you have to allow for the possibility that Fields may bust.  Darnold may also bust but in selecting either Sewell or Horn, you have two chips in the game (Darnold +), rather than just one (Fields).  And this fits with Fitterer's philosophy of trading down to get more players, which is more opportunities to succeed in the draft.  Given the flop rate of first round QB's, choosing Fields is equivalent to pushing all your chips in on your current hand.  You will win big or leave the game.  I don't think Fitterer or Rhule were willing to risk that outcome.  Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.

I don't think the flop rate of first round CBs is much better than QBs. Both seem like risky positions.

FWIW, I had some good exchanges with Omar Kelly, Miami's beat writer, back in the day when I used Twitter more, and I've been following him ever since...  they're having joint practices with Chicago and he tweeted this after the first one:

That's too bad about Fields. Most of this board are hoping he can prove Rhule, and Fitz wrong. I'm sure he will get better? Right?

He just physically looked like a shadow of his former self. That was a BAD injury with not a great track record of successful athletic recovery.

How many times was he benched last year? I've forgotten.

He got no favors from the universe in going to Chicago. He and Zach Wilson face quite the uphill battle but that's the downside to going in the top 10 as a qb you know you're going to a crummy situation. Ask Burrow.

Excuses for Fields. Wow, who'd a thunk it. Folks will give Fieldsv a pass, but rip into Sam? What is wrong with this picture?

Truth. Virtually every high pick QB ends up in a shitty situation. It's just the reality of being a high pick QB. Trey Lance got really lucky.
