Just a reminder to the people saying to get MHJ and figure out the qb situation later just how little an all time great, if not the greatest wide receiver ever, has on winning if you don't have a decent quarterback. As great as MHJ might be the return he offers isn't even a fraction to as much as if Maye or Caleb end up being great or even just good. The potential return on investment is just too much to pass up with a qb draft this highly touted.

If the Bears have a top 2 pick they aren't even going to consider MHJ, the only chance is if the Panthers drop to 3 or later where you consider him and then a qb later with our pick.

Yeah, anything can happen. You're cherrypicking here. The current Bears are not as shitty as the 0-16 Lions. We're arguably a few players and a new coach away from being a playoff team. WR is one of the main positions we need to address in the draft. MHJ is a low risk, high reward pick. If he doesn't pan out, he's still likely a good wr2. The QBs are high risk. Sure there's a chance Williams is Andrew Luck, but there's also a chance he's Trubisky. If we take a shot and miss on the QB pick, we probably don't have Fields to fall back on. It would be catastrophic. MHJ is not only a safer pick, but we likely get him by trading down, which means we will have acquired more assets to help us out
