The Chicago Bears have their eyes set on Caleb Williams for the No.1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, as per details from interviews for their offensive coordinator role.
The Bears kept head coach Matt Eberflus after a 7-10 season, but they let go of his support staff, including offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. This move hinted at the team’s draft plans, suggesting that third-year quarterback Justin Fields might be replaced with a draft selection.
Former Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Shane Waldron has stepped into Getsy’s shoes. As draft day in Detroit draws nearer, it seems more likely that Fields will be replaced by the Bears using their No. 1 overall pick on USC star and former Heisman Trophy winner Williams.
Chicago is picking first in the draft thanks to last year’s deal with the Carolina Panthers, which saw the Bears give up the No. 1 spot used to select Bryce Young. After a disappointing 2-15 season for the Panthers, the Bears are now in a prime position with the first-overall pick.
