They aren’t drafting a QB and they aren’t trading away Fields. Stop. They are trading back or taking defensive help. 

We will see. The temptation to take the shiny new car is hard to pass on. Fields is not even close to being franchise changing. That’s is why a Chicago is picking #1.

Is Fields good enough to invest in long term though when Young is there for the taking?

If they draft a QB I’ll delete my forum account. If they don’t, delete yours.

Chicago has no offensive line. Do you think Young will survive behind it? And Stroud is less talented than Fields.

9th isn't a great spot. Trade up or trade down depending on what is available.

That game only cost us 1 spot. Glad we won. Give me the wr from tcu or the highest rated cb

Yup, I'm wanting to see Johnston against that Georgia defense.  If he shows out tomorrow night, he should be the picks if still on the board.  As much as I want Mayer, it was PAINFULLY obvious today we need to seriously upgrade our WR room.  I lost count of how many times today the commentators said nobody was open for the Panthers.

Stay put and draft who ever falls. We have no business trading up

No he is not. The Bears may trade #1 for a monster draft haul but you don’t get many shots at picking #1 and getting a possible franchise changing QB.

I'd call the Bears about #2 but I expect the price to be STEEP. You can only make that trade if you're willing to bet your career on that guy being a future HOFer.

I'm for rolling the dice on Anthony Richardson at #9. Yeah, he's boom or bust. So sign Darnold as the backup so you don't have to play him until he's ready. Then you roll him out there and see if he booms or busts. If it's the latter, go get Drake Maye.

I'm thinking Arizona at 4. Houston takes Young or Stroud, we trade up and get the other at 4. Will cost roughly the equivalent of what we got for McCaffrey, which ain't too steep of a price IMO.

There has never been a good player picked at #9. Especially in 2012!

Fire EVERYBODY!!!!!!!

This forum hates fields.

If top half of the draft goes QB crazy, there is going to be some excellent talent that could fall to us. I’d jump out of my chair if Paris Johnson, Tyree Wilson or Quentin Johnson fell to us. I’d much rather continue to build the lines and hell I’d be fine with picking a shutdown corner in the first (Gonzalez or Porter Jr.). We have a well built team, but we’re getting thin on the lines and if we can add some freaks to either side of the lines we’ll be set up very well for the next three years. Give Darnold time and we can win. Let’s not give up the franchise for some decent QBs in the draft when there is so much dynamic talent on the lines in this draft.

Been looking at mocks the last few months and this exactly where i did not want to be. If not trading up for a qb then trade down for something else.

You have to hope Arizona is willing to move AND nobody else offers them more.
