The Chicago Bears had all their ducks in a row. Their immediate future coming into next month’s NFL draft was clearly mapped out. Blessed with the overall no. 1 pick in the draft and another first-round pick at no. 9, things looked bright. USC blue chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams, the kid with, perhaps, the highest ceiling of all incoming pros, would be theirs if they wanted him. To make things better, they had a legit starting QB in Justin Fields they would then be able to deal to acquire even more draft capital. Not too long ago, a few…

The Chicago Bears’ headline story has been locked in since it was first confirmed that they’d be getting the overall no. 1 pick in this year’s NFL draft. Would they or would they not draft USC blue chip Heisman award-winning quarterback prospect Caleb Williams with that top spot? A related side story has been whether or not Chicago would trade that highly coveted top spot in this April’s draft for a haul of veteran and/or draft talent to further beef up the roster and fill existing holes. That proposition is not such a tall tale, since Bears general manager Ryan…
The Chicago Bears and their quarterback dilemma have been the talk of the league. Do the Monsters of the Midway use their no. 1 overall draft pick in this April’s NFL draft to select USC standout prospect Caleb Williams, who many feel could develop into a franchise quarterback, or do they hold on to current QB Justin Fields, who has shown flashes of brilliance and a growing on-field maturity? If the Bears choose the former, they’ll be trading Fields to the highest bidder. If they choose the latter, they’ll likely be trading away their no. 1 pick for a haul…
The Chicago Bears are on the clock. In possession of the overall no. 1 pick in April’s NFL draft, they have first dibs on drafting USC Heisman award winner and consensus top quarterback in the talent pool, Caleb Williams. Many feel that Williams could develop into an elite-level franchise QB and some have even compared him to legendary figures such as Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. There’s a vocal minority, however, who believe that Williams’ greatness is overstated and that the Bears might be better off if they looked elsewhere in the draft or, better yet, traded that coveted top…
The Chicago Bears are in a good spot. Blessed with the overall no. 1 pick in April’s NFL draft, they’ll have first dibs on drafting any of college football’s top prospects thanks to last year’s mega pre-draft trade with the Carolina Panthers. In this particular case, it likely means selecting USC Heisman award-winning blue chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams and hoping to build a championship-level team around him. But the Bears also have their own first-round draft pick this year, the overall ninth pick. That selection is also likely to produce an impact player for the team. And while most…
The Chicago Bears’ abundance of riches this off-season has been well-documented. They’ll be walking into April’s NFL draft with the no. 1 overall pick (thanks to last year’s mega-deal with the Carolina Panthers), as well as their own no. 9 pick in the first round. This means two impact players will come aboard this year and, most believe, one of them will be the top quarterback prospect, USC’s Caleb Williams. The team also has quarterback Justin Fields still around, ready to be dealt for even more draft capital. Everything seems to be lining up perfectly for a monster draft, one…
The Chicago Bears have a potential treasure trove of boxing riches sitting at their feet. Actually, it’s almost a GUARANTEED treasure trove. Blessed with the overall no. 1 pick in this April’s NFL draft, they will have the opportunity to select USC Heisman award-winning blue chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams. They could also draft any number of elite prospects with that top pick. There’s also the possibility of trading away that no. 1 for a historical haul of talent. Then there’s the Bears starting QB Justin Fields, who is increasingly looking like trade fodder for additional draft picks. The Chicago…
The Chicago Bears quarterback dilemma has been one of the hot issues in the NFL for the last couple months. With the Bears having the overall no. 1 pick in April’s NFL draft, they will get first dibs on selecting USC Heisman award-winning quarterback Caleb Williams, who is an elite-level prospect and many feel is a can’t miss franchise QB. But Chicago currently has Justin Fields in the starting QB spot, coming off the best year of his 3-year career and showing signs of field maturity to go along with flashes of brilliance. The current prevailing thought among most experts…
The Chicago Bears’ quarterback dilemma is coming to a head and a decision on where the team will be headed is, reportedly, coming soon. Does Chicago use it’s no. 1 overall pick in this April’s NFL draft to select USC Heisman award-winning blue chip prospect Caleb Williams or does the team stick with current starting QB Justin Fields? By most accounts, Williams is a special talent, fitting the mold of a potential legend. The consensus among experts is that the Bears will keep that no. 1 pick and trade the talented, but sometimes inconsistent Fields. However, not everyone is on…
The Chicago Bears are in a great spot ahead of this April’s NFL draft. They’re also in a really tough spot. With the overall no. 1 pick in this year’s draft– thanks to the team’s headline-grabbing mega-deal with the Carolina Panthers last season for their overall no. pick that year– the Bears will have first dibs on selecting USC’s Heisman award-winning blue chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams. But they also have quarterback Justin Fields on hand, coming off his best, most complete, season where he showed flashes of brilliance along with a clearly improved level of field maturity. Chicago Bears…
