I don't think any of those top 3 teams would want to trade all the way down to 11. And if they did, they would demand a huge price. I think the Vikings will set their sights on McCarthy.

I think some in the MIN front office might be feeling warm seats, but I agree with the sentiment that they are probably looking at Nix, Penix or McCarthynix. Maye, Williams, and Daniels will be gone when they pick and it will be very expensive to move up to get one of them. They can draft a QB a bit lower, let them sit & learn for a year, and meanwhile sign Cousins to a 2 year 100M deal or some such nonsense.
If the Bears are smart, they'll keep Fields as their QB1, and use their top pick(s) for something else. I'm not familiar enough with their needs to know exactly what they need. But they're the Bears, so probably they'll draft a QB and give up on Fields and continue to suck.
Good question. MIN? WAS? NE? DEN? I know some teams are probably still in love with the talent, but after 4 years you have an idea of what you're going to get. Picks, fumbles, and a few Wow plays. When his legs go, he'll be out of the league fast.
I'd stay away, but QB needy teams might kick the tires on him. Personally I wouldn't trade a high pick (Day 1 or 2) for him, more like a conditional R6 or R7.
I say again, if the Bears are anything other than completely stupid, they will keep Fields and draft something other than a QB. To me, the worst case from a Packer point of view would be for the Vikings to grab Fields - having him go to a team with a lot better talent around him than the Bears.
Zinter broke his leg against Ohio St. When healthy, he would provide instant competition at RG.Quote:

Packers to host top 30 pre-draft visit with Michigan OL Zak Zinter
That guy is a gamer. I’ d be thrilled if the Packers selected him. I believe he also plays center.
Interesting. I'd assume they want their own doctors to check out the leg, etc.
GB has a now well-known penchant under Gute for rostering a significant percentage of the guys they bring in for a top 30 visit.
if he can play C that would be nice, I thought he was a little tall for C though?
I don't think they will pick an OL who doesn't have at least some positional flexibility, unless it is one of the obvious franchise T types that should be gone well before 25.
