As the NFL playoffs continue to run their course, the 2024 NFL Draft order is approaching its final positioning. With the first 24 picks set, the eliminated teams have already begun setting their preliminary draft boards. So far in my past mocks, I’ve operated under the assumption that Chicago will trade quarterback Justin Fields for more draft capital — likely a few Day 2 picks — and draft a quarterback at No. 1. If Chicago keeps Fields, they’ll likely listen to offers for the No. 1 pick for the second straight year. But what if the Bears kept Fields and the top overall pick? In this 2024 NFL mock draft, we’ll explore a world where Chicago throws a wrinkle in everyone’s plans.
