The Chicago Bears are taking a unique approach to the 2024 NFL draft when it comes to figuring out which player they want to select with their second first-round pick at No. 9 overall.
Per ESPN's Courtney Cronin, the Bears have sectioned their coaches and personnel staff into "pods" that will allow them to debate which position they want to address with the ninth pick.
Wide receiver, offensive tackle and defensive end were cited as the position groups Chicago's staff is deciding between.
One area scout for another NFC team told ESPN's Jordan Reid they would "be shocked" if the Bears actually make the pick at No.
