Bears mock draft: Poles passes on Caleb Williams, trades No. 1 pick originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
If the Washington Commanders end up hiring Kliff Kingsbury to be their next offensive coordinator, would that shake up the 2024 draft? GMs always have the final say on draft picks or trades, but if/when Kingsbury becomes OC, it will be because of his experience developing young quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Kyler Murray. Of course, Kingsbury was an offensive analyst for USC this season, so he knows exactly what Caleb Williams can bring to the table. And if Kingsbury says Williams is the can’t-miss QB prospect since Mahomes, the Commanders might be moved to do whatever it takes to select him.
That’s the scenario we’re going to explore in this week’s Bears mock draft.
As always, this mock draft is not an attempt to predict what the Bears will actually do when they’re back in the War Room next offseason. That’s impossible. Nor is it meant as a recommendation of what the Bears should do. This mock draft is meant as a fun way to discuss wild ideas, dig into some of the intriguing college prospects this season, and project how those players may fit in Chicago.
TRADE! BEARS SEND NO. 1 OVERALL PICK, NO. 110 OVERALL PICK, 2025 FIFTH-ROUND PICK IN EXCHANGE FOR NO. 2 OVERALL PICK, NO. 40 OVERALL PICK, 2025 FIRST-ROUND PICK, 2025 FOURTH-ROUND PICK, 2026 FIRST-ROUND PICK
We’ve seen NFL teams do wild things to get their guy after big changes. The Rams sent two first-round picks, two second-round picks and two third-round picks to select Jared Goff when they moved to Los Angeles. When Washington made a play for Robert Griffin III in 2012, they sent three firsts and a second to St. Louis. Would new Commanders owner Josh Harris blow all of that out of the water for Williams? If he did would the Bears be able to resist?
