Georgia tight end Brock Bowers runs after a catch against Georgia Tech on Nov. 26, 2022, in Athens, Ga. The NFL draft is only three weeks away, and with the Chicago Bears widely expected to select USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 pick, talk has turned to
Of the three, Latu might profile more as a 3-4 outside linebacker/edge because he has a really narrow frame. He’s a very skilled rusher and uses his hands effectively to defeat and counter offensive tackles. The neck injury he suffered at Washington will lead to plenty of questions for teams. Odunze can do a little bit of everything at a very high level. Thomas is worthy of discussion as well. I wouldn’t focus on what the Bears will have on the field in 2024. I would think more big picture when wondering which direction they could go with the ninth pick.
I don’t think odds are particularly high they draft a center, at least not one who would compete to play right away. They traded for Ryan Bates, who will get the first shot at the job, and then signed Coleman Shelton in free agency as a potential center/reserve guard. They lack a second-round pick, which is the sweet spot to draft a center who is ready to play. If they make some moves and get in position to take one, I’d be most curious about West Virginia’s Zach Frazier.
Do you think the Bears will stick with the four picks only? Just draft four quality players as they have a normal amount of picks next year?History tells us Ryan Poles likes to move around in the draft. Whether it’s up or down, he’s always willing to consider a variety of scenarios. I don’t think there is anything wrong with Poles standing pat with four picks. As I have written previously, the Bears had 10 picks last year and nine remain on the roster.
It’s not as barren as it was at this time a year ago, that’s for sure. Jake Martin projects as the third end right now, and he had some success in this scheme playing for the Houston Texans when Lovie Smith was the defensive coordinator. Dominique Robinson, Daniel Hardy and Khalid Kareem round out the depth behind starters Montez Sweat and DeMarcus Walker.
