Too soon to say the Bears killed it by drafting Justin Fields? Of course — but do it anyway

A day after the Bears traded up to select Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields with the 11th pick in the NFL draft, investigators were still searching for someone — anyone — with a negative word to say about this momentous development.

Where are the next 10 or 15 Super Bowls being played, anyway?

Everyone — and by that we mean literally everyone — loves what the Bears did Thursday night, moving up from No.
