Chicago Bears Secure First Pick in 2024 NFL Draft for Second Consecutive Year

General Manager Ryan Poles Faces Crucial Decisions That Could Reshape the Team's Future

The Chicago Bears have secured the first pick in the 2024 NFL Draft for the second consecutive year, thanks to the Jacksonville Jaguars' win against the Carolina Panthers and the Arizona Cardinals' victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Bears' General Manager, Ryan Poles, now has the opportunity to reshape the team's roster, potentially for the next decade, depending on the moves and selections made.
The Bears' decision-making starts with quarterback Justin Fields, who had one of his best games this season against the Atlanta Falcons, leading to strong support from the locker room.
Poles traded the first pick in the 2023 draft to the Panthers, receiving an impressive haul in return, including the Nos. 9 and 61 selections in 2023, a first-round pick in 2024, a second-rounder in 2025, and a No. 1 receiver in DJ Moore.
The Bears have several options for the 2024 draft, including trading the first pick for a massive haul, selecting a new quarterback, or drafting the top non-quarterback on their board.
