The Chicago Bears finished the 2023 season with a record of 7-10 and missed the playoffs. As they look towards the NFL Draft, they have draft picks in the first round at No. 1 (from Panthers), No. 9, third round at No. 75, and fourth round at No. 122 (from Eagles).
Looking ahead to the draft, the Bears’ top needs include quarterback, edge rusher, center, and defensive tackle. While they had a decent offseason, there are still important positions that need to be addressed. Adding a running mate for Montez Sweat at defensive end, finding a long-term center solution, and potentially selecting a quarterback like Caleb Williams with the top pick will be crucial for their success in the upcoming season.
As they approach the first round of the draft, potential fits for the Bears could include Caleb Williams from USC, Rome Odunze from Washington, and Dallas Turner from Alabama. On Day 2 of the draft, players like Michael Hall Jr. from Ohio State could be good fits for their team.
The Bears received an A grade for their performance in their previous draft. Players like offensive tackle Darnell Wright and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson showed promise in their rookie seasons. The trade with Panthers that resulted in Chicago receiving the first overall pick in the 2024 draft adds even more value to their draft capital.
If they were to have a dream fantasy draft pick for this year’s draft, Caleb Williams would undoubtedly be both their dream and expected selection at No.1 overall pick . With key additions like Keenan Allen , D’Andre Swift , and Gerald Everett to their offense , Williams would have an exceptional supporting cast . If one of top receivers were to fall to them at no9 overall it would further solidify their offense for years to come .
