The prize this pick would seem to offer Chicago: USC's Caleb Williams. Six-foot-1, 215 pounds. Heisman winner. Ninety-three total touchdowns and 10 picks in the last two seasons. Runs like Jalen Hurts, throws like the guy playing in Kansas City who wears no. 15 (only we're not allowed to make that comparison). Talent for days and days.
Chicago's franchise-saving quarterback is just around the corner, and here's the real kicker: they didn't even earn the first pick. At least, not the way the first pick is typically earned: with badness. That's how they earned last season's no. 1 pick, which they traded to the Panthers. In return, the Bears got DJ Moore, the star receiver they've needed for years; a franchise right tackle in Darnell Wright; and the Panthers' future first-round pick. The best thing a future first-round pick can become is the first pick, and that's exactly what the Bears got. What a fleecing. What a win.
