It was obvious from the large bruise known as Caleb Williams’ body that the Bears needed help on the offensive line and that this offseason would be a huge opportunity to ensure that their quarterback wouldn’t be a brand ambassador for a wheelchair company in 10 years.

But if you’re like me, the little voice in your head said: “It’s the Bears. That means they’ll trade for a fullback and sign a safety through free agency.’’

Instead, they agreed to trades for two guards in a 24-hour span – the Rams’ Jonah Jackson, who played for new Bears coach Ben Johnson in Detroit, and the Chiefs’ Joe Thuney, a four-time All-Pro.
