Analyzing Justin Fields' Selection by the Chicago Bears

All of the speculation is now over. Justin Fields is officially a Chicago Bear after one of the founding franchises in this storied league traded up to draft the former Buckeye with the No. 11 overall pick.

I also think this is a great situation for Fields. While the Bears current coaching staff and front office members might be feeling a little heat to win soon after moving on from Mitch Trubisky, Fields is walking into a team that has a ton of tradition/history and a fantastic fan base. He also has two veteran quarterbacks on the current roster (Andy Dalton and Nick Foles) under which Fields can learn how to be a successful professional.

I'd like to see the Bears draft some additional help for Fields at skill positions. Allen Robinson is a solid receiver coming off a good year, Darnell Mooney can help stretch the field and David Montgomery is coming off a good season. But I think they're missing a true star on the offensive side.

I love that he's playing right in the heart of Big Ten country, in a division that is so passionate about good football and with an organization that values good leadership at his position.
