The Bears are just days away from (likely) selecting USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the top pick in the NFL Draft. David Haugh and Dan Wiederer discuss how little drama there is around the Bears, especially since the Justin Fields trade was completed. The only real question for the Bears in this draft is which prospect they'll select at No. 9 overall, if they don't choose to trade back. If the board falls the right way, it's possible the Bears end up with both the top offensive player (Williams) and the top defensive player in the draft. Either way, the guys believe the Bears are in a great spot to get a pair of impact players in the first round. Also this episode, Haugh is still questioning whether having Tyson Bagent be the backup quarterback entering the 2024 season is the right choice. Plus, the city of Chicago is about to be flooded with young stars across several of its sports teams!

Another box has been checked in the Bears' evaluation of USC quarterback Caleb Williams, the likely No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Williams had his official top-30 visit with the team earlier this week, and the reports coming from the visit seem positive.
