Woah.
This vague response was sent to the Stampede Blue staff after learning the Chicago Bears chose tight end Colston Loveland over Tyler Warren with the tenth overall pick in April’s NFL Draft. Michigan’s Loveland was perceived as a bigger threat in the passing game, opposed to Warren’s more versatile skill set at Penn State. Chicago’s first-year head coach Ben Johnson preferred to connect a reliable pass catcher with second-year quarterback Caleb Williams, the Bears first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Bears’ shocking selection set the stage for the Colts to land Warren without having to trade up.
