Ok let me think here for a minute.

The #1 pick for Justin Jefferson and the Vikings 1st Rounder.

Flip that first Rounder and #9 for the #2 pick and grab Marvin Harrison Jr.

Fulfill my Super Duper Offense dreams with Jefferson, MHJ and Moore? YES PLEASE

You've sold me.
What if I told you I fantasize about drafting MHJ at 1 and then Odunze at 9?

Moore
MHJ
Odunze

YOLO BABY!!!!
I share that fantasy. Often.

We are the Chicago Bears. We kill QBs. We used to kill WRs but Brandon Marshall, Alston Jeffery, Allen Robinson and DJ Moore along with some others have defeated it.

So let's stop worrying about the QB and just aquire so many weapons that teams can't cover them all. When have the Bears ever tried that approach? It's always 2 or 3 guys and then the teams like "yeah that's enough on offense, keep spending on defense we only have 7 all pros on that side of the ball".

Maybe I've accepted the Bears will never have a Mahommes/Brady, or maybe I just have too many visions of MHJ, Moore and another stud receiver running thru my head.

I'm not as big on Odunze as many of y'all. Unless he shows some more speed at the combine, I think he's gonna fall a bit in the draft. Size and production still gets him drafted in the 1st. But maybe drops into the 20's.

However, if Nabers is somehow sitting there at 9...
Odunze ran 10.6 100m in high school - I'd be surprised if he isn't running a 4.4 at his pro day.

Yeah, Odunze is pretty fast (straight line anyway).

Speed and quickness I should have said. I worry that he'll be more Devon Funchess than Mike Evans
Odunze took advantage of a lot of slower CBs in college to run his vertical routes. I don't know if he has the speed to run away from NFL CBs.
(although Larry Fitz wasn't the fastest guy in the NFL and got it done.)
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

It's hard to say for sure, I'll agree with that.

I see Jordy Nelson when I look at Odunze. YMMV.
