The Bears have officially locked in the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Through their trade with the Panthers involving the first pick in the draft last year, Chicago will have the top pick in their possession for the second offseason in a row. This time, though, it’s not their own selection. In fact, the Bears have won four of their last five games, and things seem to be turning around for the franchise. What seemed to be a popular opinion nationally is now in question, that being the Bears moving on from Justin Fields and selecting a quarterback with the No. 1 pick. Fields’ improvement and the team’s winning ways have seen the signal-caller generate momentum in his argument to stay with the team.
