NFL draft winners and losers: Chicago Bears gave their fans hope with great Justin Fields pick

The Chicago Bears started the night with the 20th pick and Andy Dalton as their QB1.

By the end of the night, they made an aggressive trade for a pick that energized the fan base and provided new hope at quarterback.

Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, who for much of last season was considered a favorite to go No. 2 behind Trevor Lawrence, is the Bears' new QB1. The Bears traded up when Fields fell to No. 11. The Bears traded No. 20, a fifth-rounder this year and 2022 first- and fourth-round picks to move up.
