Assuming the Chicago Bears take Caleb Williams with the first pick, he'll fit in pretty well with them.
That's because they reportedly acquired six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for a fourth-round pick.
The Angels released wide receiver Mike Williams earlier this week, currently leaving them with Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston as their two main weapons on the outside.

It was a terrible year for the Chargers, who after making the playoffs in 2022, fired Brandon Staley midseason. Justin Herbert was also injured midway through the year.
But one of the bright spots was Allen's performance. At age 31, Allen had 108 receptions – the most of his career – for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns – all without missing the final four games of the season. In Week 4, he had 18 catches for 215 yards against the Minnesota Vikings.
Chicago's quarterback situation is still in limbo, but it was long assumed they would trade Justin Fields and select Williams at No. 1. However, after several teams opted for the agency route free to fill his QB holes, Fields' future is a question. brand.
Of course, general manager Ryan Poles has said he would toy with the idea of trading the first overall pick, but moving Fields seems much more likely. And if they trade Fields, they'll surely get better than what they gave up for Allen.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles has the fifth pick, and now that Allen and Williams are gone, they are surely in line to select one of the top three wide receivers: Marvin Harrison, Rome Odunze and Malik Nabers.
Chicago, on the other hand, is solidifying its veteran corps of DJ Moore, tight end Cole Kmet and recently signed running back D'Andre Swift. In his first year in Chicago, Moore had the best season of his career, posting career highs with 96 receptions, 1,364 yards and eight touchdowns. Kmet also had a career-high 73 catches for 719 yards.
Oh, and the Bears also have the ninth pick.
The Chargers freed up $23.1 million in cap space with the move, but his $18.1 million salary is not guaranteed (he is due a $5 million roster bonus on Sunday).
