In the NFL Draft in April, the Chicago Bears will select USC quarterback prospect Caleb Williams with their first-overall selection—or not?
Some media analysts and insiders are beginning to feel that Williams joining the Bears is not as certain as some people think. There are others who believe Chicago could still very well give up their number one pick in the draft to acquire a large class of players, much like they did with the Carolina Panthers in the previous season.
If the words of Bears general manager Ryan Poles are to be taken at face value (and aren’t just part of an extended bluff front offices have to utilize prior to draft decisions), a decision has yet to be finalized internally when it comes to which quarterback the team will select.
Yeah, out of context, that’s a bit of a throwaway comment that doesn’t mean a whole lot. But given that the Washington Commanders, who have the no. 2 draft spot right behind the Bears, are reported to be pretty interested in acquiring DC-area native Williams, debate has to re-open about whether a deal could be made facilitating the swap of draft spots between the Bears and the Commanders.
