NFL Exec Was Shocked Bears Actually Took Rome Odunze

Everybody on the planet knew the Chicago Bears would take Caleb Williams #1 overall in the draft last month. It had been telegraphed for a long time. Such certainty disappeared once conversations shifted to the #9 pick. There was a myriad of directions GM Ryan Poles could go. Many predicted a wide receiver to pair with Williams. Rome Odunze of Washington was one of the most popular names mentioned. Others felt the Bears would target help on one of their lines, with the defensive side being the most popular choice.
