The Carolina Panthers start the 2024 offseason off with another loss as they watch the Chicago Bears select Heisman Trophy winner and consensus 'big board' number one, Caleb Williams. This pick is Chicago's due to Carolina's trade for Bryce Young. Drafting Williams allows GM Ryan Poles to reset the rookie wage scale with a new signal caller and acquire additional draft capital by trading Justin Fields. Williams has shown the type of talent that succeeds in the modern NFL and the Bears may finally have their first great QB if he develops accordingly.
