I am shocked no defenders have been selected in the top 12. That makes the Odunze pick look better.

#12 - QB, Bo Nix selected by the Broncos.

#11 - OT, Olu Fashanu goes to the Jets I thought Bowers was going to the Jets.

#10 - QB, JJ McCarthy goes to MIN (trade with NYJ)

Yeah Benson did not want to go to Chicago. Williams is screaming, Odunze is bearing down.

Wow, I cannot believe he got to #9. Penix going at #8 was the trigger. Hard to pass up at that pick.

on NFL.com, Williams and Odunze both had a 6.74 grade only behind Nabers and MHJ. So two top 4 rated players in one draft.

Williams was #1 on most boards, Odunze was top 5 on a ton of them. This already is an epic draft. I am soo freaking pumped!

Rome Freaking Odunze at #9 wow

#8 - QB, Michael Penix Jr to ATL? Are you freaking kidding me? Holy shit. Run up with Odunze's name now!

Odunze, Bowers, all defenders, and Olu still available wow.

#7 - OT, JC Latham to TEN

#6 - WR, Malik Nabers to NYG Odunze, Bowers, all defenders, and Olu still available.

#5 - OT, Joe Alt to LAC

#4 - WR, Marvin Harrison Jr to ARZ

#3 - QB, Drake Maye to NE

#2 - QB, Jayden Daniels to WAS

Bear the F' Down!

#1 Pick - some QB named Caleb Williams!

Detroit does a Jared Goff chant but not one for Barry Sanders, lmao.

I am super hyped, haven't felt like this for a draft in as long as I can remember. I am in Denver for a business trip this week and basically told my company that I am leaving the event at 5pm in order to make it back to the hotel with some beers in hand in time for the draft.

Someone brought up a good point, the Bears don't want to announce anything or sign him (technically they could sign him to his contract before the draft) because what if he gets in a bad car accident or something legal comes up that would make the Bears pass on him. So it makes sense to wait until the actual draft to make the selection. About 9 hours to go......

What they do at 9 is dependent on pretty much every pick from 2-8. It would be amazing if ATL got docked their 1st rounder for tampering with Cousins, which could move the Bears to #8. No team would benefit more from an ATL docked pick than the Bears. 9 to 8 would be the biggest draft value bump (equivalent of a late 4th rounder).

I think part of Caleb's confidence is the fact that the Bears already told him they are drafting him #1. You can see how relaxed he is in that interview.

4 days until Caleb Williams is a Bears.
