There is a lot to talk about when it comes to quarterbacks, and offense in general, with this draft. I will have a mock with analysis after next week, but I have a few thoughts.
I think the Bears should draft Caleb Williams. Passing on a quarterback last year made sense. Doing it again might be a tough sell, especially since they could get a first round pick from a quarterback needy team who misses out on a rookie and could look to add Justin Fields.
I try not to compare quarterbacks from the same school, but will Washington want to take another underdeveloped signal caller from North Carolina? They may want to go for someone like Jayden Daniels who could step in right away. His experience could give him the edge.
