The Chicago Bears have been looking for a QB for decades, and that remains the case after they traded away once 1st Rd pick Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fields had been severely up-and-down in his time in the WINDY CITY, however being only 25 years old he still had much room to grow. The Bears somehow though were only able to get a conditional 6th Rd draft pick in return, that could become a 4th Rd pick if Fields plays 51% of the time. It seems to be a horrendous return for a guy that has started the last 2 years for Chicago and had seemed to turn his play around toward the end of the season?! Defo and Lubie cannot wrap their heads around why the Bears felt the need to make the move now for such a horrible return. Plus the NCAA Tournament officially gets underway Tuesday night with the first 2 play-in games. They discuss if there is any angle to make some money on this first official action of The Tournament! #justinfields #chicagobears #marchmadness #ncaatournament #basketball

The NFL mock draft has become a sensation every outlet, media and fans alike create a mock draft. Yearly within these mock drafts, and even on draft day QBs fly up the board and get drafted vastly higher than they should. They wonder what QBs do NFL franchises reach on in this year's draft?! Plus what sport fan doesn't find themselves intrigued by the off-season rumor mill of possible trades or signings. When these possible moves become reality it is fantastic to think and hope about what these new configured teams could be?!
