They did it. They really, finally did it. After months and months of the least intriguing speculation in years, the Bears did what everyone on the planet expected them to and drafted Caleb Williams with the first overall pick. You could practically hear the cheers from around Chicagoland all the way from Detroit, and – if you can believe it – Bears Twitter was particularly thrilled. See for yourself:
