The Chicago Bears are making headlines with their anticipated selection of USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. But Coach Matt Eberflus is reminding everyone not to overlook their No. 9 pick.
Eberflus stated, “Having that No. 9 pick is a really good spot to be in. We’re going to get a ‘blue’ player there, for sure. What we’ve done in free agency allows us to be flexible, to really be able to take the best player, one we feel fits us in that spot.”
The Bears have been active in the offseason, adding players like Keenan Allen and D’Andre Swift to bolster their roster. The defense saw improvement in the latter part of 2023, and Eberflus is optimistic about the team’s outlook for 2024.
With a refreshed roster and the depth of talent in this year’s draft class, the Bears have the opportunity to select the best available player at No. 9 and make a significant impact. This draft could be a turning point for the franchise, setting them on a path to success in the future.
