Cards Pick 4th

[TheCardFan]

Best chance for the Cardinals to get MHJ is the Bears trading Fields.

Agreed.

Bears might also want a LT (if they are keeping Fields).

 

[Stout]

Would love MHJ obviously, but a dominant OL and DL is the correct way to build a team.

...and who is catching passes beyond McBride?

WR Michael Wilson really looked good for the past two weeks. I was at the game and also listened to the locker room interview with Wilson, he really likes working with Kyler and feels they have special connection. But, no argument here, he can be a #2 receiver and the Cards need a #1. Wilson also needs to stay healthy as he mentioned his neck/shoulder injury kept hime out for quite a bit his season.

Injury issues and also disappearing in some games issues. I like the kid but don't want to count on him as anything more than a #3.

If I am da Bears I draft Williams and give him a red shirt year behind Fields. He is likely to play a few games in year one when Fields gets hurt. They should exercise the option on Fields and trade him next off season.

Chiefs did something similar with Patrick Mahomes and got draft picks from Washington when they traded Alex Smith.

Ya him as #2 is very ambitious

 

[SoonerLou]

I’ve checked Bears Reddit, Bears forums, Bears Twitter, & so forth. Trust me, you guys are a lot higher on Fields than majority of Bears’ fans themselves seem to be.

While true.

A lot of that stems from losing to hated rival Packers And it appearing Flus is returning. Bears fans will likely be changing their tune come next week. They were heavy Fields + trade back > Caleb 24 hours ago.

If Monti risks Wilson as his #2 Wr in 2024 (God forbid his #1) then that'll tell us he's not serious about the Cardinals competing yet.

 

[SoonerLou]

I hate the Commanders didnt pull Sam Howell early against the Jets. That was the game to be won.

Early (and probably emotional takes) but Patriots fans seem set on if the top 2 QBs are gone they want MHJ.

I know its not likely to happen but I hope the Commanders do take a Daniels or Penix at 2. Either way need Drake Maye available at 3 cause that would seal it that MHJ is at 4.

And having the 4th pick is big for a trade down if MHJ is gone. Since the Bolts have a QB they would’ve had the trade down spot.

True, but less likely with the DJ injury.

 

[Chopper0080]

I would change this to Byron Murphy. Think he’s gonna shoot up on draft boards while Newton will probably be gone.

Newton could be gone for sure. He is a size outlier so unless he tests off the charts, he may still be around.

 

[QuebecCard]

And word is the Bears love him so much, they are considering him at #1.

That's 'word' from those who believe in Fields.

 

[The6]

Bears will take Williams. Guaranteed.

 

[Harry]

Same one or different one?

Same one

Once we moved out of #2 we screwed ourselves. We would have been in position to get a huge haul at #2 from a team wanting to move up for a QB. As much as I love MHJ...if younhave a top 2 pick in a draft with 2 elite QB prospects...and you're not picking a QB yourself...then it only makes sense to take the best offer. We .ight have been able to similar package to what Chicago did last year...a very good player and multiple 1st rounders.

Now, finishing at #4 is fine, but a trade out is pretty much out of the question. We have to stay put and draft an elite player. The good news is it should be either MHJ or Joe Alt. We have huge needs at both WR and LT...and both go a long way to helping Kyler. it's one of those 2 guys...i would put it at 95%.

Where things could get interesting is trying to get a WR1 if we don't land MHJ with #4. It depends on who our coaching staff zeros in on...but we do have the ammo to move up and get Oduze or Coleman...possibly Nabers depending on how the draft goes. I'm torn as to my preference for trading up to make sure we get our choice...or sticking put and hoping one falls

Why do we need a LT we drafted one last year

RT and LT are now both premium positions. If MHJ is gone the OTs are the best value and the Cardinals need a LT.

Again why, we have Paris

 

[nidan]

Do you know Paris sucks as a LT ?

I thought that was his primary position

 

[kerouac9]

Is Paris a good LT? He was fairly mid at RT his rookie season.

 

[nidan]

He was drafted as a LT

 

[nidan]

Iirc

 

[Pda4976]

If Alt is drafted then Paris will stay at RT permanently.

 

[SoonerLou]

I will admit its pretty cool that we're getting a potential elite LT or a potential elite WR (Nabers).

Closer to the draft I may warm up to Odunze more.

 

[Harry]

No, it's a rotation
1st - WAS, NE, AZ
2nd - NE, AZ, WAS
3rd - AZ, WAS, NE

Cards pick third in round 3. NE has fewer wins.

The Bears are between a rock and a hard place. They can surely trade the pick but if they are wrong on Field it will set them back for years.
Houston proved you can win with a rookie qb in place. They are staring at passing on Williams and putting all their eggs in Fields basket.
They have a #1 Wr. They have a TE. They have a couple of good RB’s. Maybe they should take Williams and then o-line on their other 1st round pick.

Maybe the get NE’s first in 2025
