With the 2023 NFL common season winding down, some fanbases have already turned their consideration to the 2024 NFL Draft. In line with SportsLine information scientist Stephen Oh, the Chicago Bears have a 95.7% likelihood to safe the No. 1 total choose, due to the offseason commerce that netted them the Carolina Panthers’ 2024 first-round choose. Carolina is the worst staff within the league at 2-13, that means Chicago will seemingly have the highest choose within the draft for the second season in a row.

Normal supervisor Ryan Poles could have an attention-grabbing determination to make with that prime choose. Does he once more promote it to the best bidder? Or does he take a quarterback to interchange Justin Fields? Many imagine the highest quarterback on this class is Caleb Williams out of USC, and Bears followers have already embraced the controversy regarding if he is the way forward for the franchise, or if it is another person.

Christmas Eve, one Chicago sports activities fan posted on social media that the Bears ought to draft Ohio State extensive receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., and maintain Fields at quarterback. The USC signal-caller was tagged within the publish, noticed it, and “preferred” it. 

Whereas some will routinely assume this implies Williams doesn’t need to be drafted by Chicago, that is not truthful. The star quarterback might be preserving receipts on Bears followers who don’t desire him, or of those that assume Harrison can be the higher choice. It might be any variety of issues. 

Williams was the 2022 Heisman Trophy winer, and a Unanimous All-American final season. The 2023 marketing campaign wasn’t as type to him, however Williams nonetheless threw for 3,633 yards, 30 touchdowns and 5 interceptions whereas the Trojans went 7-5. 

As of now, all three of our CBS Sports activities NFL Draft consultants have Williams going No. 1 total within the 2024 draft, however not all have him going to Bears.
