I think it’s a better question than it seems. The first pick this year is more than likely going to be a qb. As someone said before, if Fields was in this draft, he’d likely be the top guy. The first pick will yield more in return in a trade. Fields is being judged too critically after a year in a new system, terrible receivers, and horrendous blocking (don’t bring up the arbitrary misguided PFF OL stats lol). The years I thought were bad with our best receiver being either Earl Bennett or Devin Hester would’ve been preferable  to what we fielded last year. I think Fields makes tremendous strides this year with a whole offseason to work on mechanics and allow Getsy to figure his stuff out. Assuming the bears upgrade several positions, that is. But overall, I’m happier with Fields than I would be taking one of these qbs. And overall, I’m happy that we have both options lol.

I still need to see if Justin Fields can take that next step as a passer like Lamar Jackson was able to do in his second year before I say he's worth more than the 1st overall pick. That said, I'd probably take him over any QB available in this draft, so it would be wise for the Bears to move it over Fields.

Depends on how you value the QBs in the upcoming draft and how you evaluate Fields going forward. 
Personally I'd draft Bryce Young and CJ Stroud before Fields if they were in the same draft, but that's not taking into account how Fields has looked so far in the NFL. His rushing ability is probably best in the league for a QB right now but as a passer he still has lots of flaws. But his receiving corp is atrocious and his OL is bad so it's not like he's being helped a ton so that makes it harder to properly evaluate him. Still, it's hard to imagine him elevating his play enough to be a top 5-10 QB in the league. I see this kind of upside with Bryce Young and (to a lesser extent) with Stroud. 
The 1st pick gives me another QB that is on a rookie contract for a longer period of time as well, which makes this choice more advantageous from my perspective.
