The Chicago Bears will probably be selecting USC blue-chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams with their overall no. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Picking the potential franchise-altering generational talent is pretty much a guarantee at this point.
Up for debate, however, is what the Bears should do with their other first-round pick in the no. 9 spot.
Some feel that another wide receiver should be targeted as an additional weapon for the incoming Williams. Names abound as to who that should be. Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, and Rome Odunze are most tied to a Chicago wide receiver draft wish list.
Others, however, feel that defense should be a priority at no. 9. Edge rushers Jared Verse and Dallas Turner seem to be the names most linked to the Bears’ second first-round pick.
But there’s a third camp that believes that Chicago would do right by Williams — and their future — by drafting a high-end offensive lineman to help protect their quarterback investment.
