The Chicago Bears have the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, but general manager Ryan Poles is open to trading it.

He is looking through all options at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, including the possibility of trading Justin Fields for Bryce Young as a starting quarterback. Young is the best signal-caller in the class, and he’s blown away everyone at Lucas Oil Stadium with his intelligence, confidence, and answers to questions. Mark Grote, a sideline reporter for the Bears, said Young had a ‘positive experience’ in meeting the Bears. If it selects Young, Chicago could reset its franchise and become a team that can move forward on offense. The Bears have been a defensive culture, but getting Young shows it has adjusted.

We will see what they do, but Young seems pleased with his interaction with the Bears.
