2024 NFL Draft: Chicago Bears Big Board

The 2024 NFL Draft is just about one week away. The Chicago Bears are armed with two top-10 picks in Round 1, and with the first overall selection all but certain to be QB Caleb Williams, general manager Ryan Poles must maximize the value of his second selection, No. 9 overall, via an instant-impact starter or a trade that stocks the Bears with Day 2 picks.

This is my updated Chicago Bears 2024 NFL Draft Big Board, focusing on my rankings of players who should rank high on the Bears’ wish list on Day 1 (first round). We’ll update this Big Board with my best available prospects entering Day 2 (second and third rounds), and Day 3 (fourth through seventh rounds).

Note: This Bears Big Board does not include any quarterbacks. Caleb Williams is a Chicago Bear. These rankings are based on my evaluations combined with a blend of Chicago Bears’ needs and overall prospect value.
