With head coach Ben Johnson coming into the fold for Caleb Williams sophomore season, the Bears only have 2 players being drafted within the top-100.
Best ball drafts are in full force on UnderDog. Average draft position has been reset with last year’s bargains rising to the top of drafts and new values needing to be mined. Mix in the rookie class and there is a new equation to solve to take down best ball tournaments.
When viewed from a whole team lens, the Chicago Bears jump out as an easy team to stack on UnderDog. D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze are the only 2 Bears in the top-100. The market likes D.J. Moore in round 3 and the second year ascension of Rome Odunze at the 4-5 turn.
The beauty of selecting one or both of D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze early is that drafters can build a solid foundation at positions outside of quarterback before selecting Caleb Williams in round 9. In securing the two Bears wideouts there is less likelihood in draft rooms that someone will snipe Williams. Finishing as QB-17 in 2024, the signal in the best ball market is bullish as he is currently being drafted as the QB-12.
