Breaking News: Final Chicago Bears Mock Draft

The 2024 NFL Draft is less than a week away and the Chicago Bears will kick things off with two top-ten picks in the first round. The Bears only have four selections in the entire draft, but that doesn’t eliminate the possibility of acquiring more picks. While everyone knows who the Bears will select with the first pick, there’s more intrigue with the other selections. In the final Chicago Bears mock draft, find out who the Bears should select.

Final 2024 Chicago Bears Mock Draft
Round 1, Pick 1: QB Caleb Williams, USC
Get ready, Bears fans, because Caleb Williams will likely become the franchise quarterback the Bears have desperately searched for. For the first time, it feels like the Bears have an environment where the quarterback can grow and develop into a superstar. Williams is coming into arguably the best situation for a rookie quarterback in the history of the NFL, and he should be able to use this to his advantage. Exciting times are ahead for both Williams and the Bears!

Round 1, Pick 15: EDGE Laiatu Latu, UCLA
It’s not an overstatement that Laiatu Latu is the best defensive player in the entire draft class. Despite past injuries, Latu is the most refined pass-rusher, poised to notch double-digit sack numbers in his rookie season. He has well-refined pass-rushing moves that always allow him to make a play. His versatility and athleticism will significantly help the Bears, who can use him in multiple ways. Latu is primed to come in and produce on day one for the Bears, with help from Pro Bowler Montez Sweat on the opposite side.

Chicago Bears Receive: Picks 15 and 46

Indianapolis Colts Receive: Pick 9

Round 2, Pick 46: DT Kris Jenkins, Michigan
The Bears run defense just got even better with Kris Jenkins. Jenkins was one of the best run-stoppers in college football last season, and he has the athleticism to make any and every play. While Jenkins excels in tackling, his focus in the NFL will be improving his endurance and refining his pass-rushing techniques. He can become one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL with some coaching.

Round 3, Pick 75: WR Jalen McMillan, UW
Jalen McMillan has the potential to thrive as the Bears WR3 in the upcoming season. Despite being in the shadow of teammates Rome Odunze and Ja’Lynn Polk, McMillan possesses the qualities to establish himself as a dependable NFL wide receiver. McMillan is a great manipulator, using hesitation moves to compensate for his lack of physicality and thinner build. Nonetheless, with his knack for creating space and smooth agility on the field, McMillan stands poised to emerge as one of the more underrated wide receivers in the league.

Round 5, Pick 137: OT Javon Foster, Missouri
Rest assured, Bears fans, Javon Foster is not another Larry Borom. Foster knows how to use his physical gifts to establish a firm hold on defensive players to keep them out of reach from the quarterback. He has excellent technique and lateral quickness to operate in open spaces. Foster may occasionally overextend, making him susceptible to rush counters. However, he will be able to learn under Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright, likely starting as a swing tackle for the Bears.

Chicago Bears Receive: Picks 137 and 193

New England Patriots Receive: Pick 122

Round 6, Pick 193: P Tory Taylor, Iowa
Tory Taylor is one of the most electric punters to come out of college in a long time. He has records for the most punting yards in a single season (4,479 in 2023) and the highest career yards per punt (46.3). Given Trent Gill’s underwhelming performance with one of the league’s lowest yards per punt, the Bears could use an upgrade at punter. Taylor will need to improve his hang time in the NFL. However, he has a cannon of a leg and the experience to become the next great punter in the league.
