Windy City Gridiron

I’m sure you’ve heard by now, but the Bears are currently on track to have the first and second pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Their trade with the Panthers out of the No. 1 pick looks like a fleece so far, as Carolina is currently the only winless team left in the NFL, and the other two biggest acquisitions from the deal — DJ Moore and 2023 first-round pick Darnell Wright — are working out quite well for the Bears. It’s a good thing that trade paid off, then, because Chicago is currently not too far behind that worst spot at 1-5. It’s been a rollercoaster of a year for the Bears so far, who have yet to find consistency on either side of the ball. Perhaps most alarming is the fact that quarterback Justin Fields has yet to establish himself as a long-term starter here in Year 3. We as Bears fans all have the draft to look forward to, however, and being adopted into a fanbase of consistent bad plays has found me scouting 2024 draft prospects even before the 2023 NFL Draft concluded.
