Draft day has the potential to be a good one for the Bears.
As a result of the trade with the Panthers, the Bears will have two early picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.
With the Cardinals win against the Eagles and Panthers loss against the Jaguars on Dec. 31, the Bears clinched the No. 1 overall draft pick. After their Week 18 loss to the Packers, the Bears clinched the No. 10 spot overall in the draft.
With their late-season improvement, their draft positioning dropped from having the No. 4 on Nov. 28 to their final positioning at the 10th spot pick.
The 2024 NFL Draft will take place April 25 through April 27 in Detroit.
How did the Bears get the Panthers pick?
On March 10, 2023, 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.
