The Chicago Bears knew the challenge ahead of them. Caleb Williams was the widely viewed prize of the 2024 draft class. While the Bears did hold the #1 pick and could draft him regardless of his preference, it would behoove them to do everything in their power to get off on the right foot with the young quarterback. A great way to do that is by surrounding him with players who can help him achieve his goal of being great in the NFL. That is why they traded for Keenan Allen and drafted Rome Odunze #9 overall.
