The Bears dispatched a sizable delegation to observe Bo Nix at the Oregon Pro Day.
All eyes are on the Chicago Bears as they hold the coveted No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and weigh their options regarding Justin Fields. With Caleb Williams and Drake Maye emerging as top quarterback prospects, trading Fields is under serious consideration.
In a surprising twist, the Bears sent a significant delegation to observe Oregon Ducks star Bo Nix during his pro day, as reported by Jim Nagy.
"Big NFL contingent from 30 NFL teams in Eugene today for Oregon pro-day with @ChicagoBears (8) and @nyjets (5) having most club reps."
Additionally, the Bears are focusing on Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson, as noted by Courtney Cronin of ESPN.
"Hearing the Bears are sending a sizable contingent to Oregon today. They'll get to do their due diligence on Bo Nix (like with all top QB prospects), but center Jackson Powers-Johnson is the draw. Could be an option for Chicago if Ryan Poles wants to trade back from 9 for a rookie OL later in the first round."
While monitoring the Bears' interest in Nix, it's worth noting that the Ducks' quarterback fell out of the first round in ClutchPoints' latest post-combine NFL mock draft. Meanwhile, Powers-Johnson remains a top-25 prospect in that mock draft. This hints at a potential strategy for Poles to trade back and target the Oregon center, possibly waiting until the second round to secure Nix.
