The Chicago Bears got a big haul for the No. 1 pick.
The team is clearly more than satisfied with Justin Fields, so they traded down to revamp their team around him.
With that in mind, former NFL player Emmanuel Acho believes they should use that No. 9 pick to land Bijan Robinson.
He’s been making a plea for that for weeks now, so he made sure to double down on that take as we approach the NFL Draft.
Draft weeks means it’s time to once again make my plea for the @ChicagoBears to draft Bijan Robinson!! https://t.co/FmXUQrljPc

Per Acho, Robinson could revamp the Bears’ offense because of how efficient they could become with that zone-read offense.
He’s a guy that’s not easy to take down one-on-one, and that combination of him and Fields could prove to be deadly for rival defenses.
The Bears did favor the running game for most of the season in Matt Eferblus’ first time on the job, with Fields rarely slinging the football down the field for the first half of the campaign.
Fields took a huge leap forward towards the end of the year, making plays with his feet and his arm and proving to be just the guy the organization needed at the QB position.
Now, they could be even better by landing the consensus best running back in the nation.
Not many teams would willingly use a first-round pick, much less the No. 9 pick on a running back, but Robinson has Hall of Famer potential, and that cannot be overlooked.
