Bears Talk

● By Pete Martuneac
Another year, another NFL Combine is in the books. We saw history made this year as Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy ran the fastest 40-yard dash ever recorded (4.21 seconds), and we also got a clearer picture of what the Chicago Bears intend to do at quarterback thanks to NFL Insider Albert Breer, whose reporting leads one to believe that Ryan Poles is already sold on Caleb Williams. With so many memorable Combine performances fresh in mind, let's run a post-NFL Combine 3-round mock draft for the Bears. In this mock draft, despite the uncertainty surrounding Justin Fields' trade value around the NFL, I have him going to the Atlanta Falcons on a deal similar to the trade that sent Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs: a second-round pick in 2024 and a conditional pick in 2025.
