Assume you're the Bears GM. For this exercise, it's already decided that you're moving Fields, it's already decided that you're going to take a QB with the first pick overall, and trading down is not an option in this exercise.
Which QB are you picking?

Dave,
I would try to trade down and get more picks. That said, if the Coms were willing to trade picks, I'd do it and draft JD, a better franchise option in totality, talent and temperament.
I don't trust Caleb to handle pressure and expectations. I much prefer Daniels in that regard. JD is my favorite guy in the draft and has big game pressure chops. Caleb is like having the circus come to town with his stage father in tow.
Daniels, before seeing Maye's Pro day. Not participating in the Combine was a demerit on his scorecard for me.

I don't think this is an easy question to answer. The top 3 prospects may prove to be elite, but all three come with red flags that don't make their success in the NFL a slam dunk.
Caleb- questionable behavior and decisions, short, struggled in games his final year, stats don't support claims of an elite off-script QB
Maye- Inconsistent accuracy
Daniels- may be too light to take his physical playing style to the NFL, plus production only late in his career surrounded by elite talent.
All three have demonstrated some aspect of elite talent, but all three scare me to some degree
I would keep Fields and build around him, but the OP said I am not keeping Fields? Then I would draft Daniels
Gotta be Williams. Easy decision for me. This guy is as impressive of a prospect as I've seen in a while. Anybody can bust but I'll take my chances with him over the others. Daniels 2nd. Definitely don't like Maye at all. But that's just me.

I smell bust with Williams
