NFL News NFL News, Reports and Updates
It’s never too early to look ahead to the 2024 NFL Draft, especially if you are a fan of the Chicago Bears, who currently hold the No. 1 pick.
On Thursday, NFL Media reported the Bears were expected to interview Kliff Kingsbury for the team’s vacant offensive coordinator position.
The news immediately caused the No. 1 pick odds to shift drastically due to Kingsbury’s affiliation with the No. 1 quarterback prospect in the draft, Caleb Williams.
Williams is now a -1200 favorite to go first overall at Fanduel Sportsbook. Williams’ odds to go No. 1 sat at -500 before the Kingsbury interview news.
Kingsbury spent the past season as the senior offensive analyst for the USC Trojans, specifically working with quarterback .
Upon this news,
In second is North Carolina QB Drake Maye at +600, and the third-best odds to go No. 1 belong to Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (+1600).
Following them are LSU’s Jayden Daniels (+4000), Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. (+10000), Oregon’s Bo Nix (+10000), Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy (+10000), and several other non-QBs at +10000.
In other words, there will be a lot of signal-callers to choose from at the top of the draft.
Williams recently declared for the draft and has been tabbed as the favorite for over a year now. Much has been discussed of the Bears’ options, as they have the top pick but must also make a decision in regards to current signal caller- Justin Fields. With the front office interviewing Kingsbury, all signs are pointing to them drafting Williams as their future quarterback. It’s also worth mentioning that Chicago has the ninth overall pick as well, and could trade either or both picks if they unexpectedly decide to stick with Fields. Regardless of their decision, all eyes will be on the Bears in the coming months.
