Ryan Poles smiled when asked on Tuesday whether the Bears were set on taking Caleb Williams at No. 1. I get it; the question had to be asked. The answer was as expected, but we all know that the answer is yes. “I think everyone’s got to tune in on Thursday to watch and figure out,” the Bears general manager said Tuesday at Halas Hall. “But I feel really good about our process and where we are and where we’re headed. So we know what we’re going to do, but everyone is going to have to wait until Thursday to go there.” Everyone knows that Caleb Williams is Chicago-bound. There’s no point in lying to yourself otherwise. Ryan Poles was doing his job in his answer on Tuesday. The Bears hosted one quarterback at Halas Hall throughout this process, and it was the one who will be their quarterback of the future tomorrow: Caleb Williams.
