In the 2024 NFL draft, Bears GM Ryan Poles wanted to trade up to pick Rome Odunze. Watch our new GM Ian Cunningham help him exercise restraint. Odunze would fall to the Bears at the 9th pick.

tbf I thought we were taking Odunze with our pick
There’s a confidence in these decisions that I like to see. Poles actually looks quite frazzled in comparison.
Man, three first rounds in a row that left me confused as a fan.
Washington fan here, our GM search came down to Ian or Adam Peters. I think y’all got a great one. Maybe the better one.
Not his fault at all but the gum chewing gave me PTSD from Raheem
Wonder if Cunningham even comes here if the falcons take Odunze and roll with Kirk. Hard to know what that future would’ve been.
Title does not match the video… Theres like nothing happening in this clip.
If only someone had done this for us every time we trade up in the second for someone who wasn’t predicted to be picked before ours.
Bergeron and Orrorroho would probably have been there at our original pick.
if my coworker was loudly chewing gum like that right next to me I would lose my fucking mind
I can’t stand the way Poles chews his gum. Hopefully Ian is not the same.
Lol the look of shock on Poles face when he heard that we picked Penix
lol “Penix?!”
I am pro any GM that doesn’t give up assets to trade up
Thank goodness! We need a GM that can actually show restraint on draft night
I wish I could smack the gum out of his mouth dear lord
The gum chewing makes this unlistenable. For me, I’d rather watch Art the Clown than hear that… gross.
Being happy nabers is off the board for Rome is crazy
It seemed like Cunningham was more in control here to me.
Did y’all catch that Cunningham was citing metrics about likelihood that a player would be there? Pretty fascinating.
Terry rarely ever let the draft come to him. Very reactive & frantic drafter. Trading up a lot to get “his guys” when plenty of great players would have fallen. I like this from Cunningham!
His face when we picked Penix…that was all of us.
All i see here is that we coulda had Odunze
So we got Jonah Hill from Moneyball?
The gum chewing is ridiculous
Hey, I only quickly watched the video in between calls at work does this or does this not give the impression that the draft happens a little bit faster than the product we see on TV? I couldn’t tell if they were cuts between those pics, but it felt like four picks happened within about two minutes.
