The second top-10 pick is in for Chicago and Twitter reacted to the second new Bear of the night.
After the Caleb Williams pick, the Chicago Bears didn’t have to wait very long to pick again.
The wait to No. 9, where there has been much more discussion and pondering has been interesting.
After Williams, two more QBs, Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye came off the board. Then Marvin Harrison Jr. The Chargers took Notre Dame tackle Joe Alt (the MOST Harbaugh pick) and the Giants took Malik Nabors from LSU.
Tennessee took Alabama OL J.C. Latham.
So would Rome Oduze be on the board?
We know who most of Bears Twitter wanted.
The #Bears are on deck.
Rome Odunze, Byron Murphy, Dallas Turner, Olu Fashanu all still available.

Falcons, buddy
— BUM CHILLUPS AKA SPENCER HALL (@edsbs) April 26, 2024
And the Falcons take Michael Penix Jr. So now, what would the Bears do?
They did it!! Rome Odunze is a Chicago Bear!
The Bears are going to have a real Offense. This is incredible

1+9 being spent on a QB/WR is not very Bears. Maybe tides are turning?
— Lucas Perfetti (@LucasPerfetti46) April 26, 2024
Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze.
The Bears just killed the draft.
— Dave (@dave_bfr) April 26, 2024
Thought there was NO chance. Did not let myself process the possibility.
Figure out pass rusher another time. Add the blue chipper now, let him grow with your QB.
What a day to be a #Bears fan.

The Bears could light every remaining pick on fire and I literally would not care.
We’re done here.
— Brett Kollmann (@BrettKollmann) April 26, 2024
The Bears were giving Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis starts in 2022. Now, Rome Odunze is their third-best wide receiver.
— Bill Barnwell (@billbarnwell) April 26, 2024
Odunze, Allen, Moore. Caleb walking into one of the best situations we’ve ever seen for a top five QB.
— Mina Kimes (@minakimes) April 26, 2024
Caleb Williams will be throwing to the following people…
D.J. Moore
Keenan Allen
Rome Odunze
Cole Kmet
