Bear Goggles On

On Saturday, the Chicago Bears shut the door on the Justin Fields era by trading the 2021 first-rounder to the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the Bears were only able to secure a late-round conditional pick in 2025 in return for Fields, the franchise did right by their former signal caller, and can now turn towards the future, with eyes set on a new quarterback at the top of the 2024 NFL Draft. Now that the first wave, at least, of free agency has concluded, it is a lot easier to see what teams have what positional needs, especially for a team like the Bears, who were deliberate in finding top-end contributors. Still, as the late-April draft approaches, there will be a lot of smoke and mirrors in regards to what teams are targetting which players. It is important to note here that potential draft trades have been included, with the premier picks of each trade displayed in this article. The New England Patriots draft value chart was used here to approximate trade values.
