Would you do it? Trade #1 overall pick and opportunity to draft Caleb Williams for 3 first-round picks? That way they will have FOUR first-round picks and the potential of unloading Fields.
I am loving me some Caleb Williams, this boy will entertain us for years to come for all the wrong stuff.I absolutely would. Caleb has entitled red flag bust all over him

Caleb Williams footwork is so elite. His throw on the run is elite. His pocket presence and awareness is elite. His arm strength is elite. CJ Stroud had better weapons this year so I don't expect a repeat, but giving up on Caleb Williams is nonsense.
I know it's not much of a stretch to call the #1 pick a hit, but -- this guy's the real deal and the obsession with his crying after his college career ended in that UW game is stupid.
Caleb is a better prospect than Lawrence.All this was said about Lawrence. Is he all that elite in the nfl, not really.
Lawrence has been fine in the NFL and Williams is the better prospect.All this was said about Lawrence. Is he all that elite in the nfl, not really.
And you are RIGHT.The title on this is misleading. It gives the impression the Bears have traded their #1 pick, or are in serious talks of doing so. Or at least that's what made me click the topic. They aren't or haven't have they? This is just pure poster speculation, no?
Three 1sts? I'm struggling to justify that much for any QB in my mind. I didn't watch Caleb except for the game against UW (was not particularly impressed but that's pretty much how I always feel watching college players, so it means nothing).Caleb is a better prospect than Lawrence.
If I'm John, I would give up three #1's for him without hesitation.
Yes. It's an easy call. Caleb is a franchise changer.Three 1sts? I'm struggling to justify that much for any QB in my mind. I didn't watch Caleb except for the game against UW (was not particularly impressed but that's pretty much how I always feel watching college players, so it means nothing).
But three 1sts on a team that needs LBs, Safeties, IOL, etc., etc.? I don't know. He'd have to start basically tomorrow and we don't have an O-Line that can block for him right now (hope Lucas's knee is better!) and right now not much of a run-game to support him.
Except I KNOW Mahomes or Allen are NFL level star players.Yes. It's an easy call. Caleb is a franchise changer.
Would you give up 3 picks for Mahomes or Josh Allen? I think I know the answer.
Good grief. He’s the same size as Aaron Rodgers.toffee's nonexpert evaluation of Celab Williams:
I look forward to being entertained by the Williams, on and off the field.
- He is not the second coming of Mahomes, he is however the second coming of Russell Wilson. These two are separated by 1 3/8", Wilson was 5' 11 5/8", Williams 6'1". Both QB's claim to fame was how they improvised after pocket breaks down, and they both kept thinking of throwing even when they were on the run.
- He shall be insufferable off the field, and again, just like Wilson.
- As a 5 star recruit, he could go to any college. He picked Oklahoma, probably influenced by the success of Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray. But Oklahoma had more success under Mayfield and Murray?
- Smooth sailing so far, can he handle adversities? Will he run to Mama's arms and have Papa shout down doubters? We don't know.
Just to be pedantic, Rodgers was measured at 6'2", or 2 3/8" taller than Russell Wilson and 1" taller than Williams. Rodgers is also known to be sensitive about his height, see below:Good grief. He’s the same size as Aaron Rodgers.
There have been questions about his accuracy and deep throws. He has been called out for berating his teammates on the field multiple times. But if there is one thing certainly not expected to improve his mood, it is questions about his height.
Aaron Rodgers is famously touchy when it comes to the topic of his height. He measured in at 6'2", which is not something a layman would ever consider short. But for quarterbacks, height is considered an advantage.
He once berated a fan who met him and commented on how Aaron Rodgers does not look as big in person as one expects. Rodgers shot back with a reply saying: "That's one of the more ridiculous comments that could be thrown at me is that. Especially coming from somebody who's 5'7"."
