By virtue of owning the first and fourth overall picks in the initial round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears are poised to tangentially affect many teams’ destinies, especially their own. Quarterbacks will dominate most conversations, but unique generational talents at other positions, like a wide receiver (Marvin Harrison Jr.) and tight end (Brock Bowers), will create more buzz than last year’s initial draft night. Several marquee prospects with household name appeal and a litany of skill position players will be available on day one of the draft. Speculatively speaking, this may be one of the most impactful first rounds of the last ten years.
