While excitement is building for the NFL postseason, the same can be said for the 2023 draft chase. The #1 pick seemed like a foregone conclusion for months. It was the Houston Texans’ to lose. That changed after they stunned the Tennessee Titans last weekend. Now at 2-12-1, they are only a half-game ahead of the Chicago Bears for that spot. If they win one more of their remaining two games and Chicago loses out, the Bears would secure the 1st pick. Their odds sit at 25%. Things are getting interesting.<\/p>\n

It appears those around the league are curious about what might happen if Chicago steals that pick. With Justin Fields in place, they do not need a quarterback. This means one of two things. Either they can take the best non-QB on the board or trade the pick to a team that desperately seeks a QB. Albert Breer of the MMQB seems to think the possibility is strong that GM Ryan Poles would consider the latter. He’d be in an ideal position to do so. It comes down to whether the quarterbacks available are enticing enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich brings us to the operative question here, and that’s whether the pick would be marketable. To me, getting real value for the selection would require a quarterback getting hot and separating himself through the draft process, whether it’s Alabama’s Bryce Young, Kentucky’s Will Levis, Ohio State’s CJ Stroud or Florida’s Anthony Richardson. Then, you’d need a quarterback-needy team picking second, compelling another team to move (the Texans would give Chicago that<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

That’s one reason why I’m really looking forward to this stuff this year. There’s so much for teams to figure out on quarterbacks, and a perceived drop-off after Carter and Anderson, and all of it should make for some pretty intriguing storylines the next four months.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
