Personally, I think 9 is too high for Verse, and most draft guys have him going in the mid-teens

Wow is that really true? he refused interviews at combines and now not even working out at his pro day. Red Flags for potential problems in the future for sure. Caleb did all interviews at the combine and as far has holding off his medicals the bears already has access to his medicals already.

Look at his on field production and the numbers he put up at the combine. Draftniks aren’t NFL scouts. Plus, he did all that playing a premium position.
This guy is a PFF draftnik:

Not saying this realistic but it's the most nightmarish scenario i can think off right now.
1. CHI - Williams QB1
2. WAS - Mays QB2
3. NE - Nabers WR1 ( NE is not impressed with QB's 3-6 and see Nabers as the real generational talent )
4. ARI - Turner EDGE1 ( ARI is in love with Turner's ceiling and think they can get a very good WR at #27 )
5. LAC - MHJ WR2 ( LAC scraps their plan of trading down with MIN when they see MHJ on the board )
6. NYG - Odunze WR3 ( NYG same as NE's thinking about QB's 3-6 )
7. TEN - Alt LT1 ( TEN had ticket printed before the draft and was just hoping. )
8. ATL - Verse EDGE 2 ( ATL Pace has infected the building and everyone has conviction )
MIN was unable to trade up with NE without giving more than they wanted since NE fell in love with Nabers.
After seeing NE draft a WR, instead of a QB, MIN decided to focus on LAC.
However once they saw ARI go EDGE1, instead of WR2 at #4, MIN started thinking the draft might just fall to them.
The NYJ aren't willing to pick swap with the Bears because they are happy with TE1 or WR4.
MIN, DEN and LV don't want to trade up because they see the draft falling to them.
NO decides not to trade up because they think 3 QB are about to go and like what is left and feel that a second round pick is to much to give up.
The Bears don't feel comfortable going past NO because the think they might fall out range of the players they like.
This leaves the Bears with the choice of ...
TE1 Bowers a luxury
LT2 or RT1 Both are luxuries and maybe overdrafts.
WR4 Thomas maybe an overdraft.
EDGE3 Latu maybe an overdraft.
DL1 probably an overdraft.

Probably a good chance you can trade down a few spots in that scenario with the QBs still on the board, MIN, DEN, and LV are still competing with one another for their preferred QB and giving up a third or whatever isn't a huge price to pay to ensure they get their guy.

If your scouts are telling you Bowers is a Kelce type talent then he is not a luxury.
Imagine a scenario years from now where people say we passed on the next Kelce because we signed Gerald Everett to a 2 year deal.

Someone bombs the place and our #9 pick and our first pick Caleb Williams will not playing for the Bears or any team at that, anymore. Worst case scenario speaking, of course.

Bears need pass rushers more than WRs or TEs. Turner, Verse, Latu, Robinson, and Newton in that order.

Oh, absolutely, I'm sure you are correct ... but this is the nightmare ( and most probably unrealistic ) scenario and in that alternate universe the three teams each have a perfectly different option of the three QB's and a good idea of the other two teams preference. This all works perfectly against the Bears interest as those teams don't feel the need to trade up since their guy is going to fall to them.

I am an outlier on this board, but Bowers is a game changing offensive weapon. He is not a TE, he is a pass-catching threat. Unfortunately, due to a hamstring injury, Bowers was not able to participate in the Georgia pro day in March and is looking to do the drills on April 10th. If he runs under a 4.5 forty yard dash at 243 pounds and allegedly has a 40 inch vertical along with great hands and YAC skills, he intrigues me.

Now imagine a scenario where you drafted Bowers and he's not Kelce and Bears passed on the next Justin Jefferson... or (insert HOFer here)

Bears take a trade for QB, move down with added picks and fuck the Vikes. It gets everyone in need of a QB trying to trade with NYJ for the last of the top 4. Vikings take Penix or Nix at 23.
