2024 Bears mock draft roundup: Chicago has plenty of options at No. 9

The 2024 NFL draft is less than a week away, and the Chicago Bears are finalizing their draft board before they usher in a new era.

Chicago has just four selections, but they do have two top-10 picks (including the first overall pick, where they’re going to select quarterback Caleb Williams).

While there’s no surprise wheat the Bears will do at No. 1 with Williams, there’s more intrigue with the ninth overall selection. There are several directions Chicago can go — stay put and land a second blue chip player (be it receiver, edge rusher or tackle), trade back and acquire more capital or even trade up if someone like Marvin Harrison Jr. is still on the board at No. 5.

We’ve rounded up the latest 2024 mock drafts, where most experts believe the Bears will pair Williams with a playmaking wide receiver, shore up pass protection with an offensive tackle or add to their defense with an edge rusher.
