CHI Town could have taken CJ Stroud with the #1 Pick. They screwed up as Stroud looks like a Superstar. Real impressive year and CJ carving up Clev D.
but Wager while I see what Archie is saying I do not get what you are . Stroud looks like a sure fire 1st round pick for years to come. barring injury. You would rather have Fields, Moore, and a 1st rounder this 2024 than Stroud?I think Chicago made the right move
They raped Carolina
And they are probably going to do it to another team again in this year's draft

yeah CHI did draft Mitch. what do you think they do with #1 Pick 2024?they weren't going to admit they needed to move on from fields AND even if they had they would have taking Bryce young and if they had taken Stroud, they ARE the bears. they have perfected fucking up QB development for decades
THX for the take DJ Makes sense, Like you said have to see how Stroud does over a 5-7 year period to truly know.Stroud looks like a star in the making - so have a lot of other guys.
Draft capital is a sure thing AND you had Fields (who had shown flashes at the time of the deal) - you draft Stroud - you have a headache on your hands with Fields - you can’t just cut him and owe a ton of dead money…he goes elsewhere and works out - and Stroud doesn’t surpass him - your out of a job and never heard from again in the NFL for making the stupidest decision ever.
You try to keep both - your sitting Stroud who doesn’t get a chance until Fields goes down with an injury likely - or until his play forces you to make the move - your basically 49’ers a few years ago with Lance. It worked out for the 49’ers - but Trey not so much to date. Usually it blows up on both team and player.
The #1 pick was just dumb luck - but you figured it would be top 5 likely. Even if they would have gotten back #5 this year - in addition to #9 last year AND an all-pro caliber receiver - you do that deal 10 of 10 times as a GM. Stroud has looked great - but let’s see where he is 4 years from now. He seems solid and like a solid citizen by all accounts - but so did DeShaun Watson.

Fields was 7th in the NFL in rushing last year - as a QB! - with over 1100 yards and averaged over 7yds per carry. Best running quarterback ever so far in my opinion even over Vick and Lamar
Tt really does seem like a crap shoot on these draft picks. I'm not really sure the scouts can read what it takes to make it in the NFL. Hell, look at Purdy (Mr. Irrelevant) or Tom Brady.hindsight tho
seems like hit rate on these first rounders is like 5% now. no one can tell which QBs will stick long term
