Chicago Bears' Decisions for No. 1 Pick in 2024 NFL Draft

The Chicago Bears have secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, following a trade with the Carolina Panthers. With several options available, the team could trade the pick for a large sum and build around quarterback, Justin Fields, or trade Fields and acquire more draft capital for a rookie quarterback. Alternatively, they could use the first pick on a quarterback and leave Fields as trade bait, or strengthen their defense by selecting the best available player. This marks the second consecutive year that the Bears have held the No. 1 overall pick following a trade with the Panthers, and the upcoming offseason will be a significant time for decision-making for the team.
