It seems to be trending toward JD over Caleb Williams.

They say it’s super close but Jayden might be pulling ahead.

If you’re an NFL franchise, look at the personality of Williams vs Daniels. Which guy do you want to invest your future in? Williams has a track record of being a total a-hole dbag off the field. Correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t remember JD having any off the field issues or attitude issues like Williams.



Let’s talk actual ball. Williams makes big plays by scrambling around and extending plays. He doesn’t seem to stand in the pocket and go through progressions. Daniels made massive plays with his arm in the pocket. Compare the two’s big passing plays. I can guarantee JD has majority of his from the pocket vs Caleb having most from a busted play by scrambling

For Jayden sake I sure hope not. The bears are a dumpster fire. He deserves to go number 1 but that team kills careers.

Caleb is still the favorite to go #1. I saw the Dan Orlovsky clip too, but that doesn’t really mean much.

Do you have examples?

I agree. Williams reminds me of cam newton with the weird personality, but without the freak athletic ability.

I bet you can’t guarantee this and I would bet you haven’t watched much of Caleb Williams either.

X reported yesterday that Williams refused to submit to medical examinations at the combine or release his medical records to the NFL. This is a huge red flag and experts think this may turn some clubs off.

I hope the Bears still draft Williams so JD5 doesn't get stuck in that QB hell.

He was going to be the # 1pick since October. This is how the NFL draft works.

I sure hope he is not the number 1 overall pick. Much better situation in Washington than Chicago right now.

I remember as late as the end of the season JD being +7000 to go #1 overall in the draft. 70:1 payout is massive.

Williams was a massive favorite. Definitely was a ton of value there to bet JD.

ETA just checked odds. Williams still a huge favorite @ -1600. JD up to +2500 though which is still 25:1 payout if you’re so confident JD could go #1

Jayden may move up to the top pick because there’s chatter Caleb and his father don’t want to go to Chicago. He’s from DC so maybe they want him back home where his dad can call all the shots.

As an LSU fan, I would love this. I promise it has nothing to do with me taking the +3500 odds a few months ago on that scenario.

In all seriousness, the Bears could very well be behind the smoke to help with their negotiation with Williams.

Jayden has the perfect blend of arm, leg, and head talent. Plus the stable demeanor needed.

The only question I have is throwing in tight windows when his NFL WR’s don’t have an advantage. I think it’s possible Nabors & Thomas will be close to Chase/Jefferson.

While both Heisman QBs are mobile, recent video breakdowns I saw showed they have one defining difference when it comes to their feet:

Caleb is a scrambler (extends plays behind the line successfully throwing completions at some angles only Mahomes can)..

...and Jayden is a runner (rarely extends plays to throw accurately short-to-medium, but makes dynamic large gains when he does take off, but often puts his frail frame in harm's way).

I can see a team that intends to invest tens of mllions in a franchise QB thinking Jayden might be a riskier selection, despite being the more poised pocket passer with better deep ball accuracy.

Nah CW will go first overall. May not be to bears though. They might work a trade back with Washington and pickup JD5.
PFF doesn’t even have Daniels going until late first. Wtf? Does a Bama fan run that site?

If the caleb Williams rumors are true and he's requesting ownership in team then I wouldn't sign him as an UDFA.

And Jayden Daniels is Lamar Jackson. So yeah I'd take a 2 time MVP freak show #1 who doesn't have character red flags
