The Chicago Bears have the number one overall pick in this years draft, and with Caleb Williams entering the NFL this year there should be no question for the Bears to draft him with the number 1 pick. Caleb has been deemed to be a transcendent talent and one of the best prospects at the quarterback position ever. It would be a huge mistake for the Bears to not draft Williams this year, and perhaps one of the biggest mistakes ever.
The Chicago Bears Need Caleb Williams
This team has needed a quarterback for the entirety of the franchises history. If we look at this team compared to their arch division rival the Green Bay Packers, the major disadvantage the Bears have always had has been at the quarterback position. Now the Packers seem to have another amazing quarterback in Jordan Love.
It is blasphemous to believe that a team can win the Super Bowl in the NFL without one of the best quarterbacks in the league. If a team wants to win multiple titles then it is literally impossible without having a top guy in the league. Justin Fields has been impressive at times in his short career, but in this league you have to move off guys as fast as possible if you want to win.
The Importance of Quarterback In The NFL
Gone are the days where Joe Flacco can win you a Super Bowl. The days of having a middling quarterback and a top defense is over. Defenses just can’t do what they used to do in the NFL and you simply need a top 5 quarterback if you want to win at a high level for multiple years. That being said, Chicago needs to take Caleb as this gives you a chance to land a quarterback that can be in that top 5.
If the Bears want to continue to be mediocre they can stick with Fields while the Packers and Lions will continue to dominate them year in and year out. In the NFL you have to swing for the fences and their should be no reason at all to not draft Caleb Williams.
