Bears agree with top pick Chris Williams
Bears first-round draft pick Chris Williams agreed to a five-year contract around noon Wednesday, just hours before the start of the first practice of training camp at 3 p.m.
Williams was the 14th overall pick in the draft, and the Bears now have all 12 draft picks signed.
Williams is expected to be the opening day starter at left tackle but he must prove in training camp and the preseason that he's a better option than veteran John St. Clair, who is currently No. 1 in the depth chart.
