While the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to battle it out in the Super Bowl, the 30 other NFL teams are thinking about next year. Each one has huge questions to answer before the first round of the draft on April 25.
Maybe none have more questions to answer than that of the Chicago Bears who own the No. 1 and No. 9 picks in this year’s draft. Bears GM, Ryan Poles, has big decisions to make regarding what to do with those picks, specifically regarding former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields.
The Bears have options, but most see one of two scenarios playing out. Chicago could move forward with Fields as QB1 and trade the No. 1 overall pick for more draft capital. Or Poles could choose to trade Fields and use the No. 1 overall pick for another quarterback such as Caleb Williams.
What will happen is anyone’s guess at this point. Fields has shown glimpses of real potential at times and at other times the former Buckeye has looked indecisive and mediocre at best. To be fair, the talent surrounding Fields has been subpar and he’s had to adjust to multiple head coaches and offensive coordinators.
The pundits keep going back and forth, but the current consensus is that the Bears will trade Justin Fields and choose to start from scratch with a new quarterback. With that thinking in mind, what are the most likely landing spots for the former Ohio State QB? Let’s take a look.
