2024 NFL odds: Which team will draft Caleb Williams?

Posted by

Former USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams is the prohibitive favorite (-900, bet $10 to win $11.11 total) to be the first pick in April’s NFL Draft.

But which team will select the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner?

That is the biggest source of intrigue heading into the draft, with the first round set for April 25.

Will the Chicago Bears, who have the top pick, select Williams, even though the franchise drafted Justin Fields with the 11th pick in 2021?

Or will a team desperate for a potential franchise quarterback make the Bears an offer they can’t refuse?

The Carolina Panthers did so last year, sending receiver DJ Moore, two first-round picks and a pair of second rounders to Chicago to move up eight spots and select Alabama quarterback Bryce Young at No. 1.

Here are the latest odds on the team to draft Williams, according to DraftKings Sportsbook:

* odds as of 2/13/2024

The Bears have a spotty history with quarterbacks.

Chicago traded up one spot in 2017 to draft North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky with the second pick. The 10th pick that year? Patrick Mahomes.

Trubisky was an alternate for the 2019 Pro Bowl. The previous Bears QB to be named to the Pro Bowl was Jim McMahon in 1986.

By the way, Trubisky was released by the Steelers on Monday.

FOX Sports NFC North reporter Carmen Vitali said Chicago prefers to spend high picks on defense.

“The Bears organization has never successfully developed a quarterback,” Vitali said. “What do you expect from a franchise that has historically gravitated toward the other side of the ball? The 1985 Chicago Bears defense revolutionized the way football is played. 

“It was arguably the best defense in history. There’s a lot of pride there, and justifiably so.”
