The 2024 NFL Draft continued Saturday. The Chicago Bears drafted Iowa punter Tory Taylor in round 4 and Kansas edge rusher Austin Booker in round 5.
The Bears drafted USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick Thursday night.
The Bears have been here before in their search for a quarterback — Jay Cutler, Mitch Trubisky, Justin Fields — and have found only disappointment. But Williams not only is a cut above as a prospect, the Bears are set up for him to succeed where others failed.
The Bears tried an ill-fated apprenticeship plan with Mitch Trubisky in 2017 (behind Mike Glennon) and Justin Fields in 2021 (behind Andy Dalton). But the 2024 Bears are set up for Williams as the Week 1 starter.
The position has been a headache for Poles, but now he has stacked DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Odunze for incoming quarterback Caleb Williams.
