Caleb Williams went through plenty of ups and downs on his way to being the No. 1 overall pick for the Chicago Bears in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Ryan Poles gave us a peak behind the Chicago Bears NFL Draft curtain with his final press conference before draft weekend.

Locked On Bears podcast is your daily ticket to stay ahead of the game and the first to know the latest news, analysis, and insider info for the Chicago Bears and the National Football League.

This upcoming NFL Draft class has a lot of depth at wide receiver and offensive line, plus some athletic defensive linemen that could develop into productive pass rushers at the pro level.

The 2024 Locked On NFL Mock Draft episode one starts with picks from the Chicago Bears, the Washington Commanders, the New England Patriots, the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Chargers. How many QB’s will come off the board in the first five picks? Will it be Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, and J.J McCarthy all in the top 5? Get expert analysis from our national shows—Locked On NFL Draft, Peacock and Williamson and Locked On NFL Scouting—as well as fantasy advice from Locked On Fantasy Football and Locked On Dynasty Football, and local insight from Locked On shows covering every NFL team.

The NFL Draft is Ryan Poles' last major opportunity this offseason to answer the biggest questions on his Chicago Bears roster.

The Chicago Bears could get a bounty of NFL Draft picks by making a big trade down to a team like the Arizona Cardinals at 27 that have extra draft capital, but Ryan Poles might not want to give up the opportunity to take a Top 10 player with the ninth overall pick.

Rookie quarterbacks don't come into the kind of situation Caleb Williams will have on the Chicago Bears. But is it the best supporting cast a starting rookie quarterback has ever had?

The Chicago Bears need to be prepared for the worst case scenarios in the 2024 NFL Draft. But even if the top picks in the draft take Ryan Poles' favorite players off the board, the team will still be in position to draft a good player with the ninth overall pick.

With only four picks (right now) in the 2024 NFL Draft, Ryan Poles need to make the most out of this draft class to find foundational pieces for the Chicago Bears.

The Chicago Bears' analytics department identified "critical factors" for players at every position, so we're looking at this upcoming draft class to identify which prospects fit what Ryan Poles might prefer.

The Chicago Bears brought Caleb Williams to Halas Hall for his official Top 30 visit, clearing the way for Ryan Poles to take the USC quarterback with the No. 1 pick.

Some Chicago Bears fans want to see Ryan Poles get aggressive and move up from the 9th pick in the NFL Draft to take one of the top wide receivers: Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers or Rome Odunze.

After signing Gerald Everett and trading for Keenan Allen, do the Chicago Bears still have room in Shane Waldron's offense to take a player like Georgia tight end Brock Bowers with the 9th pick in the NFL Draft?

The free agent defensive tackle market completely dried up. The Chicago Bears only avenue for adding an interior pass rusher is through the NFL Draft, and he's not likely to use another high draft pick on a defensive tackle.

The Chicago Bears have to be ready for the possibility that none of the top wide receivers in the NFL Draft last until the 9th pick. So what should Ryan Poles do from there?

If one of the top wide receivers in the NFL Draft is there when the Chicago Bears are on the clock with the 9th overall pick, Ryan Poles should trade down.

The Chicago Bears could add some much needed draft picks by trading down from the 9th pick. The problem is, the teams that would trade up to No. 9 will want the same players Ryan Poles will want at that spot. Will he be willing to pass on a blue chip player?

Chicago Bears fans are hoping one of the top wide receivers in the NFL Draft falls to Ryan Poles at the 9th overall pick. Looking at how the draft order plays out and how WRs moved in free agency, the Bears have a path toward landing Rome Odunze or Malik Nabers without having to trade up.

Now that the Chicago Bears have slowed down in free agency, it's time to evaluate how well Ryan Poles did at filling out his roster

D'Andre Swift had his best season with the Philadelphia Eagles last season, but the Chicago Bears are going to need even more out of their free agent running back to get their money's worth.

The Chicago Bears sent their whole contingent to USC's Pro Day to watch Caleb Williams throw. The way Ryan Poles has operated and the way Williams talks about the Bears all but confirms that he will be the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.

Kevin Byard is a solid short-term solution for the Chicago Bears at safety next to Jaquan Brisker, but Ryan Poles will still need a long-term answer in the secondary.

Trading for Keenan Allen is the most impactful move Ryan Poles will make all offseason for his rookie quarterback. It's hard to overstate how critical the Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver will be for the development of Caleb Williams.

The Chicago Bears got less for Justin Fields in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers than most of us expected. Part of it was Ryan Poles miscalculating the QB market, and part of it was the general manager wanting to "do right" by Fields.

Ryan Poles made his big free agent splash on the trade market, bringing in Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Rams. He and DJ Moore give the Chicago Bears a top-tier wide receiver duo that will be huge for the development of whatever quarterback is under center this season.

The Chicago Bears kicked off free agent negotiating by making a deal with Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift. He's a good player who will help the Bears, but he's not a great use of Ryan Poles' cap space.

The Chicago Bears shouldn't expect All-Pro level production from Kevin Byard, but the veteran safety should still be a valuable replacement for Eddie Jackson. Plus, Jaylon Johnson's long-term contract looks like a win-win.

Shane Waldron and Eric Washington were finally introduced as Chicago Bears offensive and defensive coordinators a month after Matt Eberflus hired them. We learned what Washington's role will look like as a DC who doesn't call plays and how Waldron has grown as a play-caller from his time with the Seattle Seahawks.

Justin Fields broke his silence on a podcast with the St. Brown brothers, and while it was nice to hear from him, he didn't say anything that will have any impact on his trade situation. Fields unfollowing the Chicago Bears on Instagram is a complete non-story that means nothing, and it's all just offseason noise because it's a slow time of year.

Whoever the Chicago Bears quarterback is in 2024, he's going to need better weapons across the board. Former NFL tight end Clay Harbor joins us to look at Ryan Poles' priorities beyond the QB debate, and he makes the case for drafting Georgia tight end Brock Bowers with the 9th overall pick to add another dynamic athlete to the offense.

The new coaches on the Chicago Bears bring with them a wide network of connections to upcoming free agents across the NFL. Defensive coordinator Eric Washington could bring some of the Buffalo Bills defensive line with him, and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron has a trio of former tight ends that could be good backups for Cole Kmet.

The Chicago Bears need to add multiple pieces to their pass rush, but should they prioritize another defensive end to pair with Montez Sweat or a defensive tackle to boost the interior pressure? The defensive line is where Ryan Poles is likely to spend the most money, but wide receiver might be the biggest overall need, with the largest hole on the roster to fill. And the center and safety positions are big priorities after the releases of Cody Whitehair and Eddie Jackson.

Two of the longest-tenured Chicago Bears are gone as Ryan Poles released Eddie Jackson and Cody Whitehair. He saved over $20 million in salary cap space, but the Bears now need new starters at safety and center.

18 Chicago Bears players are set to hit free agency next month. Over the next few weeks, Ryan Poles will decide who he wants to bring back and who he'll let test the open market. It's likely that Jaylon Johnson will be back (potentially on the franchise tag) but every other player is up the air. We look at who the team should prioritize and who they can let walk.

The Chicago Bears hired Shane Waldron almost a month ago, and he still hasn't been formally introduced as the new offensive coordinator. So on today's show, we're letting Waldron explain his offensive system and coaching philosophy, along with some help from the likes of Pete Carroll, Russell Wilson, Sean McVay and others to give us a better understanding of what Waldron did with the Seattle Seahawks and what he's bringing to Chicago.

Watching the two best teams in the NFL duke it out in the Super Bowl can provide some valuable lessons to the Chicago Bears as they build toward a Super Bowl of their own. Patrick Mahomes might be 1 of 1, but the Bears can still try to emulate what Andy Reid did as well as two stellar defenses.

New Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron did not get a ringing endorsement from his former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, when asked in an interview with CHGO. Hear why JSN may have some valid criticisms, but it's no reason for Bears fans to panic about what Waldron is bringing to Chicago. Plus, Kevin Warren confirmed that the next stadium in Chicago will have a dome, not a retractable roof, but Roger Goodell said that will set them up to host a Super Bowl.

The Chicago Bears have a healthy amount of salary cap this offseason, but that doesn't mean Ryan Poles will go out and sign a big-name free agent. Once the Jaylon Johnson situation resolves, the Bears will still have plenty of needs to address and only a limited amount of money to fill out the roster before the NFL Draft.

NFL teams fully expect the Chicago Bears to draft Caleb Williams, which means a Justin Fields trade is coming. It could be advantageous for Ryan Poles to get a deal done before teams start signing quarterbacks in free agency, or it could be better to wait and see which teams get desperate for a QB if they miss out in the NFL Draft.

Reports say teams like the Washington Commanders and Las Vegas Raiders are willing to give up a massive haul to get Caleb Williams, and the Chicago Bears will at least listen to their offers. First, Ryan Poles would have to be willing to pass on Williams, and then the compensation conversation starts. Chicago is in a great position either way.

The Chicago Bears have interviewed three defensive coordinator candidates that we know about so far, and that doesn't include any of the potential internal candidates. Terrell Williams, Chris Harris and Eric Washington don't have a ton of experience, but they might not need it to work under Matt Eberflus.

Many Chicago Bears fans wanted the team to go after Jim Harbaugh this offseason. Now, he's the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. Whether it's fair or not, we'll look back at this moment and wonder what would have been different if the Bears fired Matt Eberflus and went after their former quarterback.

A lot of the debate about what the Chicago Bears should do with Justin Fields doesn't get at the core of the issues behind the decision. Those in favor of trading Fields and those who want to keep him both have valid arguments, so it's important to dig deeper and find out what we're actually disagreeing about.

During the season, Jaylon Johnson said he wasn't asking for a record-setting contract. After a strong finish to the year, now he wants to be the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. That's a recipe for Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears to use the franchise tag as they try to negotiate a deal. And if it all falls apart again, we can't rule out the possibility of a trade sometime down the line.

Ryan Poles is trying to decide whether Caleb Williams (or another rookie QB) is an upgrade over Justin Fields, but the decision is more complicated than just a head-to-head comparison of the two quarterbacks. The Chicago Bears have to evaluate the whole picture when it comes to trade value, age, and contracts, beyond just the on-field scouting report.

Trade speculation about Justin Fields will linger throughout the offseason, so let's start things off by making it clear what kind of compensation the Chicago Bears should expect if they deal their quarterback. We compare Fields to other recent QB trades and take note of which teams have the most NFL draft picks to trade this year.

The Chicago Bears are moving forward with Matt Eberflus as their head coach in 2024 but make a change at offensive coordinator firing Luke Getsy. Will Justin Fields and Eberflus be enough to attract a top OC candidate like Zac Robinson? Or will the allure of the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Caleb Williams and Drake Maye be the hook needed to land the next offensive architect?

What Ryan Poles decides to do this offseason at head coach, quarterback and the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft will shape how he is remembered as Chicago Bears general manager. If he keeps Matt Eberflus and passes on head coaches like Jim Harbaugh, Mike Vrabel or others, Bears fans will always wonder "What If?". Whether he keeps or trades Justin Fields or the No. 1 pick, we will always second guess his choice if he gets it wrong. And if he gets the coach and the quarterback right, he will forever be a legend in Chicago.

The Chicago Bears will hold their end of the season press conference this week. Team president Kevin Warren and general manager Ryan Poles need to make it clear that the job Matt Eberflus has done as head coach has not been good enough. Both Warren and Poles have talked repeatedly about working toward a championship, and it's hard to make the case that Eberflus and his staff are the right coaches to get the Bears to the Super Bowl.

The Chicago Bears' Week 18 loss was the clearest example yet of why Ryan Poles should fire head coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. The defense was much worse than the 17-9 final score suggests, and Justin Fields and the offense couldn't even score a touchdown against a struggling Packers defense. It was bad all around.

Whether the Chicago Bears stick with Justin Fields or draft a rookie like Caleb Williams, the team needs to have the right offensive coordinator in place to put the quarterback in the best position to be successful. Luke Getsy hasn't been good enough as a play-designer or play-caller this season, and Matt Eberflus needs to find a better option to develop his quarterback.

This is the biggest game of the season for the Chicago Bears (and for the Green Bay Packers). They aren't playing for the playoffs, but this is a playoff game and the ultimate measure of how much progress Matt Eberflus and Justin Fields have made against the team they've never beaten. Peter Bukowski from Locked on Packers joins us to preview the matchup and the progress both teams have made since Week 1.

The discourse about what the Chicago Bears should do with Matt Eberflus and Justin Fields is getting out of control, and it will be important for Ryan Poles to take emotion out of the decision, regardless of what happens this week against the Green Bay Packers. The most important thing is not what the fans want or what the players want. It's what's best for the team.

The Chicago Bears put together their strongest all-around performance of the season in their win over the Atlanta Falcons, and it will go a long way toward Matt Eberflus keeping his job as head coach. It was also one of Justin Fields' best games of the year and another dominating performance from a defense that we shouldn't take for granted.

Cole Kmet and Darnell Mooney missed practice this week with injuries and aren't likely to play on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. The Chicago Bears still have a path to victory without two of their top weapons against a formidable Falcons defense. It helps that the Bears own defense shouldn't have too much trouble with Taylor Heinicke and Atlanta.

How Justin Fields performs against the Atlanta Falcons will go a long way toward shaping his future as a starter, either for the Chicago Bears or maybe the Falcons. It also depends on who the head coach is in Atlanta and Chicago next year, with both Matt Eberflus and Arthur Smith coaching for their job in this game.

The Chicago Bears have been significantly better in the last month or so as Matt Eberflus and Justin Fields fight to keep their jobs, but how much of that success is sustainable in the long term? If Ryan Poles chooses to bring back his head coach and quarterback, some of their growth would remain, but other aspects of what's working right now isn't likely to carry over into 2024.

The Chicago Bears beat the Arizona Cardinals as expected, but the game was much closer than it should have been. Matt Eberflus needed to show that his team could dominate a lesser opponent for four quarters, but as usual, they let up and allowed Kyler Murray to bring his team right back into it. Luke Getsy's offense went conservative once again and didn't make it easy on Justin Fields.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is getting a lot of NFL MVP love, but where does he fall on Mike Renner’s top-5 MVP candidates list? Baltimore Ravens passer Lamar Jackson and Dallas Cowboys signal caller Dak Prescott have had phenomenal seasons deserving of high rankings and a potential top spot. It’s a new era in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs no longer wearing the crown as best team in the league so who now sits atop with the Niners, Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills staking their claim. But it’s about naughty and nice during the holiday season. Just like there are five best teams, there are the five worst. Between the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots, the bottom spot goes to a team that has years of rebuilding ahead of an already bad situation.
