When April arrives, the Chicago Bears will have to make a significant choice.
They can either stick with former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, who has shown promise at times but also struggled mightily, or they can choose to select USC dual-threat quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick in the NFL Draft, or they can choose to select one of the other top signal callers in this year’s class, such as Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye.

It’s the latter in a new NFL Mock Draft that CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso suggested. According to Trapasso, the Bears will give up Fields to the Las Vegas Raiders in return for a few first-round selections.
According to the aforementioned plan, Fields is acquired by the Raiders in exchange for the 74th overall pick in the 2024 draft and a 2025 third-round pick that might be upgraded to a second-round selection if Fields plays at least 75 percent of the snaps in
