From Samuel Fleming (@nashman92):
I probably like Justin Fields more than most, and I’d still trade him.
Caleb Williams isn’t the type of prospect who comes around every year. And if the Patrick Mahomes comps are legit—Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles would know, having spent five years in Kansas City with Mahomes—then this one should be pretty simple. It’s either Fields for a year on a rookie contract and then on a pricy fifth-year option or new contract, or Williams on a rookie deal for the next four years. So, yes, you take Williams.
If things play out this way, a Fields trade would happen ideally way before then. And, if I’m Chicago, and I can get a second- or third-rounder packaged with a Day 3 pick, I probably do that. Though, because of the person Fields has been, the idea of having him back Williams aboard is something that’s been discussed and could actually work.
