Former Chicago Bears and journeyman quarterback Chase Daniels believes he knows what the Bears should do with their No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

Daniels said on the NFL Network telecast that the Bears should draft Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze.

“It would be an amazing fit,” Daniel said. “He’s not the most athletic receiver in the draft, but he is the most physical and I think that’s the most exciting thing. When you can pair him with a DJ Moore and a Caleb Williams, in my opinion, the Chicago Bears could be a legit contender in the NFC North.”

Odunze caught 92 passes for 1,640 yards and 13 touchdowns last season.

He was first in the nation in first down catches with 74 and also tops with 21 contested catches.

Look for the Giants at No. 6 as a possible team that might snatch up Odunze before the Bears get the opportunity to select him.
