Rarely in Bears history has everything fallen into place perfectly for them as it did leading up to and including this draft. It was almost too easy. Anybody could’ve spotted USC quarterback Caleb Williams’ talent and taken him No. 1, then followed by saying yes to Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze at No. 9.
General manager Ryan Poles was very fortunate. But he also was extraordinarily prudent and prepared.
This will be a landmark draft for the franchise and a milestone in Poles’ young career — not only because of the talent he brought in with those top two picks, but because he has his roster brilliantly positioned for this moment.
