2. Chicago Bears

We all know that the Bears are going to take Caleb Williams with the first overall pick. He is going to be their franchise quarterback now that they have moved Justin Fields to Pittsburgh. Williams gives them a fresh start at that position and they move on from the Fields era.

Williams needs some weapons to throw to. He has D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen, so he has more than Fields ever had. But they still need one last weapon to solidify their core for the future. They also have the ninth pick in the Draft, which is their own first-round pick.

I could see them moving up from the ninth spot to get a tall receiver in Harrison Jr. He would be the youngest receiver of that group and he could grow with Williams to make sure that they are on the same timeline. I think it would be a good fit and the fans would love it.

This is a little less likely than the previous scenario because of where the Bears sit in their rebuild. They don't need to be giving up draft picks to move up to get a receiver when they could just take whichever one is sitting there for them to take at nine.

If GM Ryan Poles loves what he's seen from Harrison Jr., he could end up taking him anyway. He's a generational prospect who would help them immediately. I think the former Ohio State football player would become a fan-favorite in Chicago as soon as he was taken.

The final team who could make a move has a family tie to him.
