NBC’s NFL analysts gush over Justin Fields, plead Bears to keep him
After the Bears beat the Falcons on The After Football Show, Ruthie Polinsky, Dave Wannstedt, Alex Brown and Lance Briggs talk about the Bears winning the first pick in the NFL draft for the second year in a row.
The holidays are over, but surprisingly, the Carolina Panthers are still in the spirit.
Carolina lost enough games to be the worst team in the first pick, returning the top pick to the Chicago Bears. Chicago traded last year’s first-round pick to Carolina and received the Panthers’ 2024 first-round pick in exchange.

Fortunately for the Bears, they have a top spot in Carolina and are poised to make a big impact in the upcoming NFL draft, dramatically changing the fortunes of the organization. Let the predictions and fun begin!
What will the Bears do with the first overall pick? Chicago can reset the financial clock by adding 2022 Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams at quarterback. Using Williams’ cost-controlled rookie contract would give Chicago more financial flexibility to draft skilled talent. Meanwhile, signal-caller Justin Fields has improved in his six games since returning from injury (60.4 completions / 267 yards from scrimmage / fourth win in last six games). This gave him the perfect opportunity for a transaction and capital purchase. For this year and next year. Regardless of Chicago’s final decision, Williams is a virtual lock to be the first name on draft night. NBC NFL analysts are very excited about Justin Fields and are begging the Bears to keep him.
Daniels is an electric, versatile player whose dual-threat skills could lead him to the 2023 Heisman Trophy. His senior season at LSU included 3,812 passing yards and 40 touchdowns, along with 1,134 rushing yards and 10 scores in the race. If Washington’s new owner does some cleaning, imagine what kind of ambitious head coach and talented offensive coordinator could emerge using Daniels’ talents.
Acquiring a talented signal caller with franchise potential could be the path of choice for New England ownership. Drake May is a big, strong quarterback with good accuracy (64.9% completion percentage) and NFL-caliber instincts at 6-foot-4, 220 pounds. The athletic shortstop also rushed for a career-high 1,209 yards and 16 scores. Some analysts believe Maye is the “safest” and most reliable quarterback in this draft class.
It is no exaggeration to say that Harrison is a “generational talent”, especially considering that he is the son of the famous Marvin Harrison. The All-American is a phenomenal talent with tremendous potential and has no flaws in his game. . Harrison averaged 16.9 yards on 155 career receptions for 31 scores, but was a potent weapon down the field. Pursuing the elite, he can’t miss Marvin Harrison and pairing him with Murray could accelerate Arizona’s plans to secure Super Bowl eligibility.
