The Chicago Bears have been diligent as the team prepares for the 2024 NFL Draft, taking an extended look at several of the top quarterback prospects available.
Chicago is reportedly "gathering information" on USC's Caleb Williams, North Carolina's Drake Maye, Michigan's J.J. McCarthy, and LSU's Jayden Daniels, according to Adam Jahns of The Athletic.
Although the Bears own the No. 1 overall pick and could select a top prospect such as Williams or Maye, they might also attempt to trade down and acquire more draft capital to help build the rest of the roster. They did exactly that in 2023, trading down from the first selection and giving the Carolina Panthers the top spot in exchange for a package including the team's 2024 first-round pick.
