Jay Cutler, the Bears’ polarizing starter for eight seasons, leads the franchise in all-time passing yards. Sid Luckman, whose career spanned from 1939-’50, is second on that leaderboard.

Once again, the Bears have the opportunity to change their fortunes at quarterback as they hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, a selection Chicago acquired as part of a blockbuster trade of the No. 1 overall pick in 2023 to Carolina. Throughout the course of their pre-draft evaluation, it has become clear whom the Bears covet at No. 1 overall. But after that, there's plenty of intrigue in the first round of the NFL Draft. Let's break it all down with our mock draft.
