Breaking down the recent buzz surrounding Marvin Harrison Jr. potentially joining the Chicago Bears, there’s speculation that he might be strategically lowering his draft stock to land with the Bears, aiming to team up with expected top pick Caleb Williams.
While there’s no official confirmation from reliable sources, Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, known for his insider information, suggests the Bears are eyeing Harrison.
Volin predicts a less intense run on quarterbacks in the upcoming draft, with only the first two picks being certain. He drops a surprising revelation that the Bears could aggressively pursue Harrison, especially if the Patriots don’t select him at No. 3. In that scenario, the Cardinals are likely to pick Harrison at No. 4.
Volin suggests the Bears, eager to make a splash, might trade up to secure Harrison, potentially offering their No. 9 pick, along with other picks, to the Patriots.
If the Bears do pursue Harrison, it signals their intention to compete in the 2024 season, aiming to pair the top quarterback and wide receiver prospects in the draft.
This move would generate significant excitement in Chicago, marking the first time a team selects both the top quarterback and wide receiver in the same draft.
However, whether this scenario unfolds depends on the Patriots’ willingness to trade down. While GM Ryan Poles has a history of not moving up in the draft, Harrison’s potential as a future superstar might justify the risk.
Nevertheless, it’s uncertain whether the Bears would forego addressing their need for pass rush help, given the importance of quarterbacks in today’s NFL.”
