At this point, the Chicago Bears sit with the 5th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but they also have Carolina's pick, which is No. 1 overall. Maybe Colin Cowherd forgot that, but these days, talking heads on television spew whatever they want and lose credibility in the process. But forget those folks for a second; it's time to take a different look at the draft for the Bears. As much as the franchise desperately needs a QB, this draft class doesn't have a consensus option. Does that mean the Bears shouldn't draft one? Not necessarily, but the right model to follow is to build the right team before adding the QB. See the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. What they both have in common is that their team was built with culture-driven players AND blue-chip talent before they added the QB. Having blue-chip prospects around a franchsie QB on a rookie deal is the way to go. If the Bears are smart to follow that model, it can set them up for years of success.
