Mac Jones is there for NE.  Seems kind of like fate.

What I didnt expect is the Bears trading up for Fields.

Don’t see why the 49ers had Lance over fields.

Just got done watching NFL Network's coverage of the draft (recorded).

After the draft the talking heads immediately started talking about the Bears getting the steal of the draft - Justin Fields.

I never have believed the conspiracy theories about the McCaskey's involvement in selecting players in the draft.  But I think they had a lot of influence this year.

I like his mobility. That's one thing I was concerned with losing about Trubisky but now we've got both a thrower and a runner back there. So far so good. Let's get him some protection in the 2nd at LT....

Totally agree.  I was hoping that Mac Jones name was not going to get called.   We saw how fast Trubisky was at 4.6 plus....Fields ran a 4.46.

Obviously there's a lot more than foot speed needed to be a good QB, but you kind of like having that ability just in case.

How mobile is Tom Brady. Football is  a team sport. You have to have good coaches, along with a sound team. Once again no #1 next year. I'm not a draft junkie, so I'll have to defer to you guys...

Yeah totally get that. Brady is a definite throw back QB. The league has moved on to a running/gunning QB style, for the most part. But we've seen other types like Fields flop or not reach their potential such as Michael Vick. He got to the playoffs a couple times, made the pro bowl but that was about it. Seems running QBs tend to take off instead of waiting for someone to pop open, relying too much on their legs and not their arms. Of course there's some great QBs who could run- Steve Young, McNabb, Elway although he sure looked stiff running it. We'll see what kind of QB he turns out to be.....Vick or Young....hopefully Young with a couple SB runs

The thing that gets me is that Mel Kiper said Fields was his #2 QB.  Major flashback to the day, and I can still vividly remember it, when he said Cade McNown was the most NFL ready QB.

Well, the stooges are swinging for the fence for sure. It makes for good discussion if nothing else for the remainder of the off-season. Of course, the pick also has to break the OSU QB curse, as well as the Chicago Bears QB curse. But strangely, on more reflection, considering how much they have to overcome, maybe, just maybe they can and will.

And there is the fact that the stooges have no clue how to figure out if a QB is any good (look at all the QBs the Bears have had). But even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then....

Bears fans hopes are kind of like Charlie Brown going to kick the football and the stooges are like Lucy pulling the ball before he gets there....

Hopeful... but skeptical it will work out.......

Please prove me wrong. Its time for the Bears curse to end.....

Go Bears ! :D

Now we really need an OT and a CB, that can start, and another WR would help.

Absolutely agree. We now need to fix that horrible offensive line. Fields will be running for his life if he ever gets to play.
