Justin Fields was very close to ending up with a different N

Justin Fields was very close to ending up with a different NFC Quinnen Williams Jersey North team.The Bears made the biggest splash during the first round of the 2021 NFLDraft, moving up nine spots to grab the slidingOhio State QB 11th overall. They sent the Giants a future first-round pick and more to secure the pick.But the Bears didn't just take Fields for themselves they kept the uber-talented pa ser away from a division rival., the Vikings were ready to select Fields with the No. 14 overall pick, but the Bears' ma sive move up to No. 11 stunned Minnesota and left the teamwithout an immediate QB selection in that spot.The Vikingsmade several attempts to trade up, Garrett Wilson T Shirts per Cronin, but no teams bit. Cronin reports that the Vikings were high on tackle Rashawn Slater (he went No. 13 to the Chargers) and eventually accepted a move back to No. 23, trading down with the Jets Wayne Chrebet Jersey after Slater was off the board.MORE: The Jets would select USC offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker at No. 14, while the Vikings would select Virginia Techtackle Christian Darrisaw at No. 23. Minnesota would later use one of the third-round picks sent from the Jets to select Texas AM quarterback Kellen Mond.The Vikings weren't "desperate" enough Quincy Williams Jersey to move up to select Fields, per Cronin, but would have had a set succe sion plan in place after incumbent QB Kirk Cousins' departure.Instead, they hung back and selected Mond.Minnesota bra s had let Cousins know that they were looking to select a quarterback in the draft, as to not blindside him.The Vikings, though, will now have to face Fields twice a year instead. Here's to hoping the decision not to trade up doesn Corey Davis Jersey 't come back to bite them.
