The Chicago Bears were taken aback when everything about their 2024 NFL Draft plan came together.
At Halas Hall, numerous cameras record their journey to the draft.
The most recent 1920 Football Drive by the Chicago Bears was released on Thursday, and it was a must-watch. The scouting staff shares the predraft information they obtained about Caleb Williams, both on and off the field, before delving deeply into their draft process.
It clarifies how Chicago’s scouting staff evaluated Williams and graded him as a prospect and truly puts to rest some of the ridiculous rumors that were circulating about him in the months before the draft.
He’ll rank among the league’s top five quarterbacks in the end. National Scout Francis Saint Paul Sr.
It also gave the impression that Rome Odunze, a lifelong Bears supporter, was always their first choice for the number-two spot. The camera caught the incredible moment when the Falcons took a quarterback at number eight, allowing Odunze to become a Bear, and the tension that existed in the draft room as the Chargers, Giants, and Titans picked ahead of them.
Odunze just kind of fell into the laps of Bears personnel, including general manager Ryan Poles.
“Are you good with this, Shane?” Shane Waldron, his offensive coordinator, was asked jokingly about them taking Odunze by Poles. For you, is it too much?
When it came to remaining put at nine for Rome, Poles claimed that “we didn’t have to give up anything.”
But the number one and number two player is Ian Cunningham, assistant general manager, who addressed Poles.
“Astonishing,” Poles shot back, shaking his head.
Before returning to the draft room to select their next three draft picks, there is some post-draft information regarding the Williams-Odunze one-two punch.
