The Chicago Bears will most likely take Caleb Williams with the No. 1 pick.
That means they’re going to have to find a new home for Justin Fields.
Fortunately for them, there’s no shortage of interest in the Ohio State product.
The Pittsburgh Steelers were the odds-on favorite to get him at the beginning of the offseason, but the tide has changed now.
According to the Action Network, the Atlanta Falcons are currently leading the race to get him by a significant margin, with the odds going from +600 to -425 at the time of this writing.

The Bears admitted that they would love to do right by Fields and move him before the start of free agency, provided they take Williams.
As for the Falcons, they’ve been loud and clear about their desperate need to get better at the quarterback position, and they know they might not be able to land an NFL-ready prospect in the first-round of the NFL Draft unless they trade up.
Making a run for Fields makes the most sense for this team.
He’s a perfect fit with the talented personnel they’ve acquired on offense in recent draft classes, not to mention he’s a hometown kid.
Fields has shown glimpses of great play during his time with the Bears, but his lack of help and the coaching staff’s reluctance to use him to the best of his capacities have hampered his career.
Hopefully, they won’t take the same approach with Caleb Williams and will finally build an offense around their quarterback’s strengths.
