Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams declared one of the most “disappointing” first-round decisions since 2020

One could make the argument that very few players are having as good of an off-season as Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. Entering his third NFL season, the case could be made that he is already a top-five quarterback in franchise history, and well on his way to becoming the absolute best the Bears have ever had.

The first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Williams has already set the single-season franchise record in passing yards, and very well could become the organization’s first 4,000-yard passer in the near future.

Despite all that he has achieved, though, some still view him as a disappointing pick.

CBS Sports declares Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams one of the worst draft picks since 2020

Recently, CBS Sports released an article in which they ranked every first round pick since 2020. Williams, despite all that he has done, was ranked 137 out of 191 players, placing him in the bottom tier labeled “most disappointing first round decisions.

The explanation for this was as follows:

“Caleb Williams’ inclusion in the bottom third of this list may be controversial, but through two seasons, he’s been outplayed by both quarterbacks selected immediately after him despite having arguably the best supporting cast.”

Following Williams in the 2024 NFL Draft were Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye. The latter, of course, took his team to the Super Bowl last season, but the former missed most of his second year due to injuries.

Between the three of them, Williams has played the most regular season games, thrown more touchdown passes, and has more passing yards.

One could easily argue that Maye, who finished second in NFL MVP voting last year, is the superior player. That being said, what Williams has done is Chicago can hardly be called a disappointment.
