The bell sounds when track runners hit the last lap.
It’s ringing now for mock drafts, and as such, the seven-round full mock drafts are starting to dominate with the selection process starting at 7 p.m. Thursday at Detroit.
The overwhelming opinion points to the Bears at No. 1 with Caleb Williams and No. 9 has gradually led to Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze, although the more creative mock drafts point at a Bears trade back. The end result of those is usually a defensive player going to the Bears.
The one thing everyone agrees on is the Bears are getting the best available quarterback in this draft, if not best available in a very long time.
