6 winners (Bears, holy cow) and losers (Falcons, oh no) from the first round of the NFL Draft
Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze is a Bears' draft dream. What the Falcons did is a nightmare.
The NFL draft is a bastion of hope for optimistic fans, and Thursday night’s first round of the 2024 iteration was no different.

You win some, and you definitely lose some.
From a momentous day for the NFL’s charter franchise to one of the league’s other perennial laughingstocks somehow messing up an extremely basic pick, there’s a lot to unpack from a first round that had its fair share of twists and turns. (Falcons fans, in advance, I apologize.)
