Draft day has the potential to be a good one for the Bears.
As a result of the trade with the Panthers, the Bears are in line for two early picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.
If the draft were today, here’s the way the draft would play out. With the Cardinals win against the Eagles and Panthers loss against the Jaguars on Dec. 31, the Bears clinch the No. 1 overall draft pick.
In addition to No. 1, the Bears also would have the No. 10 pick after defeating the Falcons on New Year’s Eve.
The Bears, who have won 5 out of their last 7 games, have dropped from having the No. 5 pick to their current positioning at No. 10.
How did the Bears get the Panthers pick?
On March 10, the Bears sent the 2023 overall No. 1 pick to the Carolina Panthers for receiver D.J. Moore and a cache of draft picks.
The Bears received the Panthers’ 2023 No. 9 overall pick (they traded to the Eagles and took Darnell Wright at No. 10), pick No. 61 (they traded that to the Jaguars and took CB Tyrique Stevenson at No. 56), a first-rounder in 2024. The Bears also received a second-round pick in the 2025 draft.
The chart will be updated every week throughout the season.
