Justin Fields of the Chicago Bears looks on in the game against the Atlanta Falcons at Soldier Field on December 31, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois.

Overview

  • The Chicago Bears hold the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, a position they achieved without having a poor roster, thanks to a successful stretch of quarterback Justin Fields' career.
  • The Bears face two critical decisions: whether to keep Fields and whether to trade out of the draft's top spot for a second straight year.
  • Four potential scenarios are discussed: trading back and keeping Fields, trading back and trading Fields, staying put and trading Fields, and staying put and keeping Fields.
  • Fields has shown significant improvement since returning from a thumb injury, leading the Bears to win four of their last five games.
  • Despite Fields' performance, there is ongoing debate about whether the Bears should trade Fields and use their No. 1 pick for a new quarterback, such as USC's Caleb Williams.
