This says underclassmen cannot play in the senior bowl. Pretty sure I heard Jim Nagy say recently that the last several years, they've invited a few juniors that declared for the draft
Well it is SportsMockery and E.Lambert so good chance he got it wrong.

At the very least Poles needs to do his due diligence and bring the top QB prospects in.... even if it's for nothing more than creating uncertainty among other teams.
They absolutely need to do this and not sure this always happens, but wouldn't surprise me if it does, but they can simply have a convo with Fields to let him know what you're doing and why you're doing it to a certain extent so he's not freaking out over it.

You mean send a scout to just be present. No need to bring any top prospects in, unless you were trying to set-up a smokescreen. But they better let Fields know that ahead of time to not mess with team chemistry.

It’s not just me. Dane Brugler basically said the same thing. It is a very weak OL class.

It isn’t that I want a RB. It’s that I want the best offensive weapon in the draft. There’s nothing like Bijan in the draft, but Deuce Vaughn comes close. The issue is that he’s 5’6”! So, I actually want both, Bijan in the 1st and Deuce in the 5th.

The rest of the RB class is very good, but it isn’t the position I want. It’s the player.
Welcome to the 1980's, folks.

The "Best Player Available" discussion is so misunderstood.

It's one thing to say take BPA even if that position is not the position of your greatest need.

It's quite another to draft a backup with holes all over the roster.

So let's say Young and Stroud both prove to be better than Fields. The Bears could draft one, but they wouldn't be certain of that right away. Would they trade Fields before they knew? Why would a team take that gamble over the other options? High risk, low reward.

If not, does the team improve as much drafting one of these guys as it would trading down for multiple picks, or as much as drafting a generational D lineman at a time when they desperately need both DE and DT?

I understand these writers need to fill column space (twitter space, whatever). But this is drivel.

I’d bring them in. Dine them. Send the whole damn staff to their pro days.

Create doubt with the other teams until the moment of the draft.

Also make 100% sure you like Fields better. I think Fields is probably better…. But you better be sure. If you let Mahomes 2.0 pass that’s an excellent way to get fired. So do your due diligence.

Talking to Fields is perfectly logical. Fields is also an adult and will be fine.
