The bears just won this draft

[@wentzr]

Now, go win some damn games

[@MrDuds1984]

And for they they get zero, nothing.

[@kubbykush9401]

Not if they don't address the D and O-lines as well as depth at linebacker and secondary.

Welcome to Chicago Caleb and Rome !!! SWEET HOME CHICAGO!

Sweet "Rome" Chicago baby!

[@busyrand]

Man.... I'm so happy... It's been brutal to see this many failed builds with such likeable guys... This feels different and right this time... Time to go to Green Bay and hurt some Feelings!... Then Detroit, and Minnesota...

[@aryespencer]

Sweet Rome Chicago lol

[@cmcq33]

Man I hope Rome takes a second to read the comments on the local Chicago bears videos with people freaking out happy he’s coming here. Dude deserves the hype and is a class act. Chicago is going to love the kid.

[@stevepiazza8770]

Tears of joy streaming down my face

[@chiefgangmusic]

Rome DJ and Keenan were just in LA catching passes from Caleb. Their psychic ability is nice but I’m more impressed by their eager and willingness to get started on GREATNESS!!

[@mdm73100]

Above all* the Bears finally have a GM that understands the flow of the NFL Congrats..!!!

[@christiansolid1098]

I can’t FUKING believe we got TWO BLUE CHIP PLAYERS in a draft 😢

[@billyg3230]

Thank the Panthers

[@jamesbickle4912]

Probably neither can Poles. A grand slam home run.

[@ec5018]

thats what happens when you get the 1st pick over someones elses mistake

[@b.a.samuels]

The End is Near...

[@jamespetway4909]

this is a awesome draft by the bears.

[@Vortex1988]

Wanstadt is so full of it. He's been talking about going defense at 9 this whole off-season, and not one defensive player was taken off the board until #15.

[@Chitex03]

The offense is officially stacked. Let’s Go!!! Bear Down.

[@Bears86SB]

I think we need a lot more oline help but we got the most important pieces, the weapons

[@Rashomon69]

I was pulling for Fields. I was sad to see him traded, but the Bears and Poles are killing it. You guys have some scary weapons now.

[@hockeyfan1799]

Why were you sad to see him traded if you're not a Bears fan?

[@nikkisimpson4340]

I can’t believe we got Rome too icing on the cake BEARDOWN

[@fixindan3592]

The bench mark for Bears offensive talent IMO was the 2013 squad. Marshall, Jeffery, and Bennett were special, and Forte was an absolute beast. But this 2024 group we’ve got now is better, at least on paper. This is by far the best situation a #1 pick QB has ever walked into, and CW is understandably stocked.

[@lamarkpowells]

Cutler was ass though

[@noahnkr1023]

Only difference is we didn’t have a generational talent at QB on a rookie contract 😉

[@jasontoy1261]

I hucking love it lets goooo Bears 🐻

[@markgaz4747]

This is the most excited I've ever been for the Chicago Bears!!! We have got a top 10 defense. The Bears are putting the best offense together that they ever had in my entire life!! Bears have 3 number #1 wide receivers. Oh, by the way, the Chicago Bears also have a franchise quarterback throwing them the ball in Caleb Williams. If I'm dreaming, please don't wake me up. 🐻⬇️

[@GeoFishing]

Fun times. I always thought the Owners would have to sell before things shined bright. It’s looking good but we be already suffered for over 30 years. Let’s take it slow. But always excited

[@kmowiu]

Same

[@a.barker7792]

If........ the owners have the most basic vision. Build Arlington Hieghts to match Frisco Texas page for page they will never have to mess up the Bears ever again. Hotels, Sports Med, housing, mix use property's plus gambling. Let alone corporate head quarters and the practice facility, that aught to keep them busy enough.

[@Nighthawk-8050]

That's what I'm talking about.

[@michaelh370]

Glad we didn't trade down. The time is now. 2 blue chip prospects to lead.

[@794edgar]

Shane Waldron roll them sleeves up and draw up nasty offensive packages.

[@williampetersen9137]

Absolutely an INCREDIBLE NIGHT for any Bears fan....that actually understands football and aren't still salty about Justin Fields.

[@Bige220]

Still saltly bout Justin, but happy.

[@thomasmelone1028]

Williams will be a bust , can’t wait

[@mikebearup4379]

Hes more.aj green than aj brown, but damn this team is loaded. 3 stud wr 2 stud te 3 good rb and an uber talent prospect at qb. This just helped the o line too.

[@so_chi_chris]

This is big for Chicago. New Stadium on the Lake. TM... also big ups to Angel Reese n Camilla Cordoso.. b/t them, we got the 1,3,7, and 9 pick. And 2 more down the line.

[@oshalusi]

The old Bears regimes definitively would have taken a defensive player at the #9 spot. It's great to see us moving into the future!

[@esantiago837]

Or some injury prone player.

[@jamesbickle4912]

​@esantiagor both. Latu. o837

[@_face773]

I'm tired of 1985 , we need a new vision and I hope this works. We need TDs from the offense.

[@jasontoy1261]

I love it lets go Danny

[@michaelknowsstocks5170]

I am stoked!!!! Still need an edge rusher but wow what a draft

[@willardwilson1127]

The last time the Bears drafted two top prospects in the first round!! Butkus and Sayers!!!!!! This is EPIC

[@Frontyardfootball190]

Parkins is a true bears fan thats how we all reacted

[@DariusFromDallas]

We ABSOLUTELY have to go pass rusher now

[@tyreepowell8367]

Welcome To Chicago Caleb Williams And Rome Odunze

[@CD-kh2pw]

Excellent pick, watched Odunze up close here in Wa. My favorite young WR since Fitzgerald. I'm suddenly a Bears fan

[@lloydsLegends]

Can't wait to hear about the battles they will be having with the Defense in training camp. Iron sharpens Iron, Bear Down! The party has just begun.

[@asianguru4984]

Calm down Parko! It's just Caleb and Rome. 2 dudes playing ball.

[@thinkof2morrow]

Three stud WR, a very solid TE and a solid running game. Caleb Williams just needs a half season of struggles to hopefully allow the Bears to sneak into the playoffs the 2nd half.

[@jhazen1125]

Can’t wait to see odunze!!!

[@bmla88]

When the giants drafted Nabers the possibility of Rome became enticing.

[@TheRichb688]

Wanny is full of it he would have drafted a linebacker to build his defense or traded down to the 28th pick lmfao----all he ever talked about was defense. You need a good defense but you need a dynamic offense that can score and put up big points and that helps your defense puts more pressure on the other team and keeps the defense fresh. I loved the 85 team but it is truly time to move on and get in the modern NFL world

[@Jay-gf8tm]

I remember that Hester hype video

[@AlienXpress99]

Wandsted wanted a defensive player at #9😅

[@Bigtompi34]

It helped a lot that there were so many good QBs to be selected, I couldn't believe that we got this guy without making trade. Now we need a great Center...

[@tastyfishsauce4410]

Let's go! Bear Down!

[@johnferrarini8641]

I was a 12 year old kid when they announced the pick too. They might have drafted the best receiver in the draft. When’ the last time the Bears had 2 legitimate #1 receivers on the field at the same time? I just hope that Williams pans out and can get the ball downfield to these two.

[@esantiago837]

Let the Roman Empire begin!

[@jeffjohnson6709]

That's a deep wr core. The issue is the offensive line.

[@TFrost420]

The offensive line wasn't as big of a problem last season as it had been the previous couple of seasons. I think the biggest issue now is the defensive line, specifically on the edges

[@kneesnap1041]

​@@TFrost420agree, I think our biggest issue is our depth when a few starters on the line get injured. the o-line overall was acceptable at worst.

[@seantardi3775]

I would get the best 4/3 edge rusher or a 3 technique DT in the 3rd, and a C in the 4th

[@DariusFromDallas]

Rome is a young Keenan Allen that gets to be mentored by Keenan Allen

[@voxextremos22]

Was my reaction tooo

[@Ascension_3030]

im glad people are finally realizing that the meatball mantra of "we play defense and run the ball" has been holding this franchise back. it may have been relevant 70 years ago, but not in todays pass first league

[@David.560_-]

We will see

[@fanelli78]

Hopefully the offensive line doesn't have a problem protecting the QB so they have over 0.2 seconds to throw the ball to that stacked WR room

[@EricJohnson-vi6ri]

Defenses need to create turnovers and prevent big plays and that’s about all. Great offenses create pressure which causes opposing offenses to take risks which in turn causes turnovers.

[@user-ne9db8xr4cDave]

RAS SCORE OF 9.92…WOOOOOOW!!!
