Still pretty sure they're taking Caleb. You just don't get the chance to take a QB of that caliber often. I like Fields to an extent, but I don't think he's the special kind of QB who can win you championships. And the Bears are never going to have the coaching that can develop him.

Fields is a great athlete who is an average QB on his best day. I think Poles was banking on MIN re-signing Cousins and ATL would be desperate enough to give up a 2nd round pick plus a day 3. Oops. It also means that teams that want to move up can deal for the 8th pick which many GMs might think is a better option than Fields. Williams is the "safe" pick; if he busts Poles can argue that he did his homework and the general consensus is that Williams was considered to be generational. He will still lose his job, of course. I think Caleb will be above average in the NFL, but not a Tier 1. Then there's his management team. That's the real headache in this decision.
