The Chicago Bears are set to make a major decision in the upcoming NFL draft, with many experts predicting that they will use their No. 1 overall pick to select a quarterback. This belief was further solidified when the Bears traded their former starting quarterback, Justin Fields, to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Despite trading for Keenan Allen, a former Los Angeles Chargers star, there is still speculation that the Bears will target a wide receiver with their second pick. Some experts predict that the Bears may select Washington’s Rome Odunze with the No. 9 pick, but there is also interest in Ohio State star Marvin Harrison Jr.
Harrison is considered a top prospect and could be picked as high as No. 3 overall, which may require the Bears to trade up to secure him. If they can add Harrison to their lineup alongside Allen and D.J. Moore, they would have a formidable group of receivers for their new quarterback, providing a better support system than Fields had during his time with the team.
Acquiring Harrison may come at a high cost, but the potential benefits of strengthening the receiver corps for their new quarterback could outweigh the investment. By potentially replicating the strategy used by the Houston Texans last year, the Bears may be able to secure a top prospect at a crucial position to set themselves up for success in the future.
