Bear Goggles On

Free agency is officially around the corner, but Ryan Poles and his staff need to keep their eyes on the true prize — the 2024 NFL Draft. Rumors are swirling that Justin Fields might be sticking around in Chicago due to his market not being as robust as the Chicago Bears had hoped. Poles wants to do right by Fields, but it is equally, if not more important for Poles to do right by the Bears. When I put this mock draft together, I had one thing in mind — offense. However, I decided not to make any Justin Fields trades. My reasoning is that I cannot guarantee he's traded, even if that is the most likely outcome. More importantly, I cannot guarantee what round pick the Chicago Bears will net in return. If his market isn't as robust as we were once led to believe, then he may end up only netting a fourth-rounder this year. I'm keeping him if that's the case. Either way, I wanted to get a sense of what the Bears could get in return in the 2024 NFL Draft without a Fields trade. With Justin Fields still on this roster, it does not stop Ryan Poles and the Bears from doing what is right.
