We’ve made it to NFL Draft week, and more than a month into the belief that Caleb Williams will become a Chicago Bear on Thursday night. When general manager Ryan Poles made the trade with Carolina last year, it was always possible that he’d use their 2024 first-round pick to get in position to take a quarterback if necessary. Then the Panthers bottomed out, Justin Fields didn’t do enough and Williams appeared to be too good to pass on. That has led to no change at the top of our three mock drafts, with the action coming at No. 9.
