Going Commando Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 We have two options at QB. 1 - pick Caleb Williams if he's there at 2. 2 - pick Drake Maye if Caleb goes #1. Those are the only options we need. This is a no brainer choice at 2. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t go get Wilson, this isn’t Snyder. They won’t go get Wilson, this isn’t Snyder… c’mon! Believe! Believe this is true!” I think we’ll have a genuine dilemma at #2. That pick is massively valuable and could completely stack us with picks for 3 years. They want to build through the draft, that was their strap line. There is nothing to say they rate these QBs high enough, but who the hell knows. Wilson for a couple of years, plus draft Daniels, or JJ for example. Don’t know, I personally think Plan A will be to get Williams. Go for the big fish. After that if we can’t, it’ll be about the best return from the value of #2. They will have to love Daniels or Maye to do that. The lure of a haul of picks instead of a QB you might only be 70% bought into is the dilemma. All subjective, none of us know do we.

Renegade7 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I need to know of there's any truth to Caleb not wanting to be in Chicago... I'll buy that it's a rumor for now, but that's a red flag to me. Usually where there's smoke like that there's fire. Bears have not been a QB friendly destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were sure Warner was washed up, Boldin is on about the same level as Terry McL, and Harrison Jr is supposed to be the next Fitzgerald...just a thought. I don't have any confidence in a Quinn staff developing a QB, unless maybe he lands McDaniels. By the way, what about taking Tulia Tagovailoa in the later rounds? He's looking good in the Shrine bowl, but I never watched UMD football. Tuila, maybe the 2nd. best QB in Big Ten behind McCarthy, 4star HS followed brother to Bama, transferred to Md. when coach became HC MD. Played in best div of the Big Ten with OH.ST., MICH. Penn ST. Has potential not a bad later rd. pick. Has some good stats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 0 chance we go for Wilson. Or any super expensive vet. We’re drafting someone at 2 and probably bringing in a cheap veteran mentor backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazedSkinsfan Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Welcome to the time of year when the bull**** gets deeper and deeper. Seems like every year it gets worse and worse with all these inside sources and their bogus claims. Like the poster above said, if Williams goes #1 then it's either Maye or Daniels, I'm sure by draft day Peters will have zeroed in on our guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The new OC pick will give us good indication of where theyre leaning, but obviously the combine and private workouts etc will determine the pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Red flags keep going up for Caleb I am sure only to me. Remind me to bet against his team when he plays in a frozen stadium. I hope Chicago drafts him and doesn't get traded 45 minutes later like Eli who was panicked that San Dog was where QBs went to die because of The Ryan Leaf Experience. Then he holds out to add extra drama. And somehow in all his drama seeking we end up with the best QB in the draft. With no proof whatsoever I suspect Maye in a #10 charger blue jersey may be making people unknowingly consider Herbert a comparable and thus inflate his draft ranking. The mind works in mysterious ways. I know I instantly see Herbert. Edited February 2 by RandyHolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's true, it could be massive for us. It could get Chicago to pick Drake Maye #1 and have Caleb fall to us without having to trade up. That's kind of the dream outcome for me. But I am also totally satisfied with Drake at #2. I love both prospects, and feel that the choice between them is akin to a choice between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. You're a major winner either way, but anyone would slightly prefer Mahomes. I wouldn't trade up to 1. If he truly doesn't want to play in Chicago, then the Bears can either trade #1 to someone else or pick Maye and let us get Caleb. I don't want to give up what it would take to get to #1. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I am not sure why Colin would risk looking like a bigger fool than he already is but he is sticking to his twisted theory based on what Rapo said. He does get some scoops but yeah sure is likely trying to be the first to report something in case it happens. That all aside, I can see most QBs wanting a warm weather team. Bears do suck at developing QBs which is what got Eli in a bunch. Here is Eli's Draft Day Hostage Photo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Why would Caleb pass on Chicago for us? We aren't exactly a bastion of success either. Regardless, its a BS rumor anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to realize that if he doesn't go #1, that means we would pick him #2. He's not going to get to pick where he ends up. It's a wild speculation that is too good to be true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, its a BS rumor anyway. He’s from here. It would make for an amazingly cool narrative, not that different from LeBron wanting to play for Cleveland because he’s “just a kid from Akron.” I’m not saying the rumors are true either, but apparently he was a fan growing up, and he has posted social media stuff suggesting he follows the team closely and cares a lot about the DMV. Not sure it has much added financial value in terms of his endorsements (maybe it does), but it has a strong emotional and sentimental appeal. And imagine if he revived the franchise and delivered a championship to this beleaguered fan base? The hoopla behind that would be insane! And definitely more so than if he won a championship for any other team. It would be an epic and historic tale not just in NFL history but sports history overall, and he couldn’t get that anywhere else, because for no other team would he be “the hometown kid.” Edited February 2 by skinsarethebest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appears the type of person to be considering the best path to fame on the grandest scale. Fair enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying the QBs as they are today. I think the Bills would definitely trade away Allen + two 2nds for Mahomes (at the very least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I agree about making that trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
