Bears News
Is that a picture of two future Chicago Bears players?
General manager Ryan Poles declined to admit the Bears will select Williams with the No. 1 pick. He opted to preserve the moment for Thursday when Roger Goodell officially calls his name to the Bears as the first pick.
Odunze isn't the guarantee that Williams is to come to Chicago. But the Bears should hope to grab the big-bodied, deep-threat receiver with the No. 9 pick in the draft. It's not guaranteed, but most suspect he'll be available and the Bears will draft him with that pick.
Poles played it conservatively during the Bears' pre-draft press conference on Tuesday. He said the pick will likely be a game-time decision, as the Bears will wait to see how the first picks play out.
āItās hard to answer right now,ā Poles said. āAs the draft unfolds, thereās going to be some indicators that start to educate us on how we need to move to acquire the top talents in this draft."
