Editorial: For the first time since the 1940s, the Chicago Bears control the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft — and the pressure is on.
Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter celebrates the 65-7 win over TCU in the national championship game on Jan. 9, 2023, in Inglewood, California.
A team that hasn’t won the Super Bowl since the 1980s could perpetuate mediocrity by trading down for lesser picks. It could trade away its most valuable player, quarterback Justin Fields, and gamble on a rookie QB who might have more success passing the football than running it, which has been Fields’ born-of-necessity specialty to date.The Bears also could sit tight with Fields, and boost its defense, which has been uncharacteristically soft.
It seems very unfair to question something so fundamental as the character of a 21-year-old college student while citing no evidence. Carter has never had high-profile arrests or other disciplinary problems that have dogged some previous top-level college talents. For a guy who chases quarterbacks and stops running backs in their tracks, he’s come across as engaging and friendly.
Last year’s No. 1 draft pick, Travon Walker of Georgia, received a four-year contract reportedly worth $37.4 million. It was fully guaranteed, meaning the Jacksonville Jaguars were on the hook to pay it even if Walker turned out to be an instant bust .
