The Sun-Times’ Bears experts pick whom they think the team will take with the No. 9 pick in Thursday night’s draft:
MARK POTASH: Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze
For better and worse, general manager Ryan Poles has made wide receiver a priority for his developing quarterback — trading for Chase Claypool and DJ Moore to help Justin Fields, and trading for Keenan Allen to help a rookie quarterback in 2024.
Unless the Bears have a chance to get Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt, the 6-3, 212-pound Odunze would be tough to pass up.
