The Chicago Bears got universal praise for what they did at the top of the 2024 draft. GM Ryan Poles took the consensus top quarterback among most experts in Caleb Williams. Then he turned around at #9 overall and grabbed stud wide receiver Rome Odunze, who himself ranked in the top five among all draft prospects. Those two should be able to grow together for years to come. However, the strength of a draft always depends on how well you do outside of the 1st round. That would prove a challenge for Poles.
