Bears 2024 NFL Draft First-Round Prediction
Pick: No. 1 Overall
Player Prediction: Caleb Williams - QB, USC
DRAFT ANALYSIS: It honestly feels like Caleb Williams' name has been penciled in this spot for two years. It's understandable why the folks in Chicago might be a bit jaded; their QB carousel has been mostly heartbreak for three decades. But hey, maybe it's just the universe’s way of saying they're due for a real-deal signal-caller. This year, the stars seem to align perfectly for the Bears, who snagged the top draft pick without mortgaging their future—perhaps the sweetest setup we've seen for a QB to go first overall.

Sure, the pressure's gonna be massive, but Chicago’s finally making moves that could turn those long-standing QB blues into a tune worth dancing to.
Caleb Williams When Under Pressure in his Career:
🎯 30 Touchdowns
🎯 6 Interceptions pic.twitter.com/tCpO0Lpqcq— PFF College (@PFF_College) April 19, 2024
Pick: No. 14 Overall - projected trade with New Orleans Saints
Player Prediction: Byron Murphy II - DT, Texas
DRAFT ANALYSIS: The Bears are sitting on a slim stack of draft picks this year, holding only four: 1, 9, 75, and 122. The smart play? Trading back to beef up their draft capital, but let's talk needs—specifically on defense. Meet Murphy, the Bears' new pocket-sized powerhouse on the D-line. Don't be misled by his stature at 6-foot and 297 pounds; this guy punches way above his weight class.
With a 2023 stat line boasting 45 total pressures and 6 sacks, according to PFF, he's proof that the Bears have a thing for dynamite in a smaller package.
