Chisoxfn Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Soxbadger said: Trubisky? Just quit posting in this thread. This is the exact opposite of Trubisky. Trubisky was a bench guy who only started 1 year for UNC and wasnt even that good. Joe Burrow couldnt beat out Fields and transferred to LSU because he was going to be the back up. That guy was picked #1 overall last year. Fields beat Lawrence straight up this year. And Lawrence forced everyone to pick him 1 but there is an argument Fields easily was the 2nd best QB prospect, you are talking about a player who delivered at an elite level and is deserving of being selected this high. If anything Wilson and Lance are the shiny new Trubiskys and Fields is Watson. I am hoping Fields is literally the non-off field issue version of Deshaun Watson. People over thunk it and he turned into a stud. So fired up....love it. Curious to see what they do in 2nd - if they try and get an extra pick or two or if they stay where they are at. Need to still address CB plus Oline & wideout. Man - Just love this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only very special talents at the position should be taken in the 1st round. They need to check all or most of the boxes.

I think they’re worse than that. I see a team where their key players got older, where they downgraded at several positions including most likely QB, and where they have limited up and coming talent because of the draft picks they traded away. And in this league, small differences cost you several games. Unless Fields comes out and is good right away, I’ve been thinking a 5-6 win team.

I saw the highs(Clemson game) and the lows (Northwestern and Indiana) Not only did I see a guy who was late with his throws, but the dude is inaccurate. After watching the Northwestern game I didn't think he was a 1st round pick. What he did against Clemson didn't change my mind. So you know - Fields weakness is maybe he isn't the best reader of the D. But he was HIGHLY accurate and obviously he is HIGHLY athletic and he's won at the highest level and played a ton.

My opinion is that 0-3 QBs should be drafted in the 1st round. Like Mac Jones, Davis Mills and Trask are similar prospects, but one guy is getting overdrafted where the other two are getting slotted appropriately.

Mitch just never got it. Fields has issues with blitz and defensive recognition too, but he's basically only played 1.5 years of college football as a starter. He's also a lot more talented than Mitch as a passer and a runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Mahome's - not a guy that reads the D a ton. Athleticism matters and a ton. And is it a real weakness or with more time does he deliver. People said the same thing about Watson - but you know what - he arrived and he's used his athleticism and skill and just MAKES plays. Either way - YOU WILL NEVER WIN NOT SWINGING AT QBs. If it works - Bears arrow skyrockets - if it doesn't - they are drafting another QB in 2023. Whatever - that is the way things work. Worse thing they could have done is passed - been in a spot next year where you are in a thin QB draft - so you pass again or trade up (cause a QB will go high no matter what next year) and you do it for a prospect way worse than Fields....or you pass because you don't like the crop and you are picking a QB in '23 again (so the way I see it - this was a total no brainer). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great accuracy, great deep ball, team captain, extremely fast. Wait wait let me guess- he doesn't read defenses!!! Oh crap that's been disproven over and over now what else? 22 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: Fwiw, I still think the Bears gave up a top 10 pick in next years draft. They have the same roster coming back minus Fuller + better QB's.

Burrow transferred from OSU to LSU because he couldn't beat Fields. In retrospect Fields made the smart move. Also, that’s Georgia that fucked up. They chose the guy that paid his dues, and lost a natty because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This past year they had a lot of opt outs and a real bad cap situation. Buffalo has their work to do to hold onto that division from them and Miami.

fathom Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I’m not a big fan of Fields, but this pick was a no-brainer. There were games this year where Fields looked like the best player in the nation and others where he looked like T. Pryor when he was at tOSU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Man would love to get Jenkins, but need an OT badly. I don’t really care about CB, we’re not a playoff team so let’s get the offense figured out with QB (done), OT and WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 For 2nd thinking Marshall WR from LSU. Possible an OL slides but think theyd be a reach. Could see a trade down, maybe try and get 3rd and maybe a pick next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally down with Marshall - I think if it were me - I'd move down and see if I can get an extra 4th plus a decent 3rd - and than stack oline/wideout (with the depth we should be able to get 1 good one each) plus target DB. I might even add a 2nd olineman/wideout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
