The Bears couldn't have dreamed of a better first round. Caleb Williams. Rome Odunze. Now they have a three-headed monster with the long-term potential of Odunze, Williams and DJ Moore.

Good developmental option for the Bears. They have a lot of depth right now between Braxton Jones, Darnell Wright and the newly drafted Amegadjie.
