David Haugh and Dan Wiederer still aren't sure what direction the Bears will head in with the No. 9 overall pick in the NFL Draft, but general manager Ryan Poles doesn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move up or down the draft board.

Ryan Poles and his right-hand man Ian Cunningham appeared confident and optimistic as the Bears held a press conference Tuesday before the 2024 NFL Draft. David Haugh and Dan Wiederer react to what we heard. Confidence is great, but we hope the front office doesn't think the Bears' rebuild is over yet. There's definitely still work to do. Also, while Poles didn't tell us the Bears' plan is to draft quarterback Caleb Williams, he certainly didn't say anything to make us think otherwise. What does Poles think of Williams' lofty goals for his NFL career? Finally, does it sound like the team has any preference for the position it's looking at with the No. 9 overall pick?

The Bears are just days away from (likely) selecting USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the top pick in the NFL Draft. David Haugh and Dan Wiederer discuss how little drama there is around the Bears, especially since the Justin Fields trade was completed. The only real question for the Bears in this draft is which prospect they'll select at No. 9 overall, if they don't choose to trade back. If the board falls the right way, it's possible the Bears end up with both the top offensive player (Williams) and the top defensive player in the draft. Either way, the guys believe the Bears are in a great spot to get a pair of impact players in the first round. Also this episode, Haugh is still questioning whether having Tyson Bagent be the backup quarterback entering the 2024 season is the right choice. Plus, the city of Chicago is about to be flooded with young stars across several of its sports teams!
