The Bears have just announced that Caleb Williams will be their top pick in the 2024 NFL draft, which is happening tonight. In addition to the No. 1 overall selection, they also have the No. 9 spot in the draft. While many are excited about who Williams will choose with his other pick, he has already expressed his preference for whom he hopes the Bears will select with their No. 9 choice.
In an interview today, Williams revealed that he would like to see the Bears select Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu with their second pick. He believes Fashanu would be a valuable addition to the team, especially since they have played together before at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C. Following Fashanu’s selection, Williams said he would like to see the Bears pick a wide receiver in the first round.
Williams explained why he wants Fashanu on the team by highlighting their prior experience playing together and Fashanu’s dedication to protecting him on the field. While some experts project Fashanu to go higher than No. 9 in the draft, his talent as an offensive tackle has been recognized by many, making him a promising pick for any team looking for a top-notch lineman.
Overall, it’s clear that Williams is excited about what this draft could bring for both himself and his new teammates at Chicago Bears. With Caleb Williams set as their top pick and Olu Fashanu as a potential addition to their roster, it looks like they are on track for success in 2024!
