Bears general manager Ryan Poles has indicated throughout the last several months that the team is moving forward with USC’s Caleb Williams as its quarterback. He’s the consensus top talent in the draft, and the Bears have the No. 1 pick, but Poles stopped short of announcing that he’ll be the selection.
“We know what we’re gonna do,” he said Tuesday. But everyone’s gonna have to wait until Thursday to see.”
Williams has long been expected to be the top pick in the draft, and the Bears have operated for months as though they plan on him being their incoming quarterback.
