TSA Precheck ?
No pre-check is a huge no-no. Sign up for pre-check ASAP. You won’t have it for this trip but it will be so useful in the future. Unless there is some reason you can’t sign up
You need to check in bags an hour before boarding. So you need to be there at least by 8:45am depending on how busy your airport is and how long it takes to get your bags checked in.
They close bag drop 45-60 mins before take off, not boarding
Get there by 9am! Regular security gets bad!
Delta security is usually pretty short (vs United/American). Pre check/clear <3-5 mins, regular is probably 20 mins maybe? Never waited more than 10 to check a bag either

9, and this is coming from someone who typically arrives at the airport when boarding starts (GS is awesome).
If you have pre check/clear and are not checking bags you can probably get away with 9:40, but you don’t so you can’t. You might be ok at 9:30 or you might not. Why risk it?
Ohare is swamped with spring break travelers now. Be wary - come early and prepared
