Any scenario where CHI keeps #1 pick?

It's about the next 10 years. And you probably need a better QB for the job.

Fields has gotten the short end of the stick in Chicago, but teams know that. You can probably trade him for a couple nice picks and build around the QB you know gives you the best chance.

I'd trade him, and use to pick to take a QB.

I don't think Stroud is an obviously safer/better bet than Fields.

Different, more conventional, yes. But any more likely to be a championship caliber passer? Eh...probably not. And you'd take a solid beating on a Fields deal; I think you'd be lucky to get a 2 this year and a 3 next for him given that 2 years of his rookie contract are already used up.

You'd get more than that by simply moving from the 1 spot to the 2 (presuming you can convince the Texans that you have a deal to move someone PAST them for Stroud).

I don't see an obvious 1.1 quarterback in this draft.
