There's a lot of talk about the NFL Draft on April 25, 2024 in Chicago since the Bears have the first pick and their QB Justin Fields in on the trading block.

There's a lot of talk about J.J. McCarthy (Michigan Wolverines QB) moving up into the top 7-10 QBs available. He's a Junior, not a Senior at Michigan. He's a local kid from Illinois. I watched him a couple of times this year, including the Champion game. He's okay, but he's not great. I wasn't impressed with him at all in the Championship game. His stats look good. I think he should play his Senior year at Michigan.

Just my 2 cents since there is so much draft talk here.

would you rather have a more experienced qb in Fields? or deal with a #1 draft pick starting with no nfl games under his belt?

what about caleb williams? isn't he the number one target for most teams, especially the bears?
 
We have had 3 seasons of Fields and have ended up with a losing record each year and in the cellar of the NFC North. The one thing that really bothers me about Fields is I have never seen him show any enthusiasm. He's made some great break away runs, but that's about it.

Bears have the first and ninth pick. I hope the Bears keep the first pick, but if they trade it away they may take someone like J.J. McCarthy with the ninth pick.

Caleb would be good choice Drake Maye has the most powerful arm of all the QBs available and has impressed many teams. There has also been a lot of talk about taking J.J. McCarthy since he's a local boy
 
so folks there are thinking of trading the #1 down to let say #7 to draft McCarthy and get more draft picks? or drafting him with the #1 pick instead of Caleb?

LOL! everything you said has been discussed. It's just been crazy here on Sports Radio and nobody knows for sure what will happen. Some people say they know someone inside and they say this is going to happen. Then someone else will say I have inside information, and they are going to do something different.

Truth is nobody really knows 🤣
 
if you have espn+ you can read mel's gripe on bo. stats are one thing, but the ducks game plan hurt bo's future. he thinks that bo may not have the arm strength to be a play caller in the nfl. the ducks used quick route plays and did not use any long ball plays. this hurts bo's ability to throw the long pass deep downfield. i don't think that chicago will bet on bo. if they really want him, then they should trade the #1 pick and get multiple picks to get bo. i do not think that bo is worthy as the #1 pick.

but who knows. it is so hard to judge a qb coming out of college. how many #1 qb's became nfl stars?
 
No, Everything I have read point to the Bears going after Caleb. There was also interest in Drake Maye at one point.

At this point I've heard 100 and 1 opinions on who the Bears should take
 
It's fun to dream and scheme about the draft. So often your favorite team doesn't land the player of your hopes and dreams and if they do, that player often turns out to be a bad draft pick. I don't pay the draft any attention anymore. The professionals paid the big bucks to get the best players for the teams rarely get it right. I'm not wasting my time worrying with it.
 
I only pay close attention to the draft when players drafted are extremely important for the team. The Steelers have Justin Fields now, so a new 1st round QB is extremely important for the Bears
 
i'm glad that my Chargers took Alt as the 5TH pick in the draft. he is the best OL in the draft. we now have a solid front to protect Herbert as well as to create holes for the RB to run through. our next pick is not until tomorrow with pick #37.

i was hoping that Zona would trade their #4 pick so that we could get WR Marvin Harris Jr.......oh well.
 
The Chiefs traded their 32 pick for the Bills 28th pick. I don't know what it cost them but I bet it wasn't cheap. They grabbed Xavier Worthy WR. He set the all time combine 40 record of 4.21. I suspect they are hoping for another Tyreek Hill. Xavier might be faster but I think there is only one Tyreek!
