This offseason should be viewed as a building one for the Bears. Fields showed enough to be given a shot at being the guy going forward. They needed to utilize the #1 pick to surround him with talent and to hedge their bets in case Fields isn't the guy and they need to draft a QB next season.
Getting Moore and staying in the top 10 and getting a 2nd round pick helps build that roster. Getting a 1st next year hedges their bet and allows them to pursue another QB if they need to next year. If Fields is the guy, you have 2 1st rounders to add to the roster to hopefully help them contend for the near future.
With the #9, are the Bears going after one of the OTs? If they sign Brown and another OL in free agency, does that change and they're more open to trading back again?
