Mel Kiper Jr. Reveals Bold Plan For Chicago Bears With No. 9 Pick

The Chicago Bears are standing at a pivotal crossroads as they gear up for the 2024 NFL Draft, holding the coveted No. 1 overall pick.

Their eyes are set on Caleb Williams, a player whose talent has garnered attention and praise over the years. If Williams lives up to the lofty expectations, he could prove to be a worthy choice as the top selection.

While the decision to pick Williams may seem straightforward, the Bears face a more challenging dilemma with the No. 9 pick.

Many experts suggest targeting a top-tier wide receiver prospect to complement Williams in his rookie season. The opportunity to have two picks within the top 10 is a rare luxury in the NFL, presenting the Bears with significant options.

Recently, Mel Kiper Jr. shared his thoughts on ESPN radio’s Waddle and Silvy show regarding the Bears’ draft strategy.

While some voices advocated for trading up to secure Marvin Harrison Jr. at the No. 4 spot, Kiper appeared cautious about such a move. He thinks the Bears should target a different wide receiver and stand pat with the No. 9 pick.

“I would much rather stay at nine and get a Rome Odunze, didn’t have to move up.”
