In this Chicago Bears Mock Draft 2.0, we’re going all-in on the trenches to build a dominant roster. With 8 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, including 3 in the top-40 and 4 in the top-75, the Bears are in a prime position to reshape their offensive and defensive lines. This draft is stacked with talented players in the trenches.
Key Draft Trades:
Trade with San Francisco: The Bears trade down from Pick #9 to Pick #11, while also adding a 4th-round pick (#112).
I’m packaging these picks (#200, #232, #247) to move up into the top 150, acquiring Pick #145 to add a game-changing talent.
Top Draft Picks Breakdown:
1st Round: Pick #11 via San Francisco – EDGE Abdul Carter (Penn State)
Hometown: Philadelphia | Age: 21 | Height: 6’3″ | Weight: 259 lbs
Position: EDGE | College: Penn State | Projected Pick: Top 12
Why the Bears Need Him: Carter is one of the most explosive EDGE rushers in this draft. His speed, length, and pursuit make him a force against the run and pass. With his elite pass-rush ability (12 sacks, 35 QB hurries), he’s a perfect fit to pair with Montez Sweat, giving the Bears a dynamic pass rush duo.
Scouting Report: 4.48 40-yard dash, 22 tackles for loss, and 2 forced fumbles. Carter’s quickness, flexibility, and power will help disrupt offenses, especially in passing situations. He reminds scouts of Micah Parsons, offering the same elite athleticism
2nd Round: Pick #37 – C Jake Majors (Texas)
Hometown: Texas | Age: 21 | Height: 6’3″ | Weight: 315 lbs
Position: Center | College: Texas | Projected Pick: Mid-2nd
Why the Bears Need Him: The Bears need a new center after struggling with interior protection for the past few seasons. Majors has outstanding pass-blocking skills (96/100), making him ideal to protect Justin Fields, especially against interior pressure. He’s a natural leader with a strong community presence, and his consistency will anchor the Bears’ offensive line for years.
Scouting Report: Majors’ ability to protect up the middle (where Fields takes the most pressure) will give him immediate value.
2nd Round: Pick #40 – LT Josh Conerly Jr. (Oregon)
Hometown: Oregon | Age: 21 | Height: 6’4″ | Weight: 315 lbs
Position: Left Tackle | College: Oregon | Projected Pick: Top 20-25
Why the Bears Need Him: Conerly is a powerful, athletic tackle who can help solidify the left side of the Bears’ offensive line. His quickness and high motor will keep defenders off Justin Fields, especially late in games when opponents start to tire.
Scouting Report: 40-time: 5.0 seconds. Conerly has great footwork and powerful hands, able to knock defenders back with ease. His foot speed and IQ make him a great fit for the Bears’ offense.
3rd Round: Pick #71 – DL Shemar Stewart (Texas A&M)
Hometown: Miami | Age: 21 | Height: 6’6″ | Weight: 290 lbs
Position: Defensive Line | College: Texas A&M | Projected Pick: 3rd Round
Why the Bears Need Him: The Bears need to add depth to their defensive line, especially with the future uncertain for some players. Stewart offers strong run defense (91/100), and his size and length create mismatches for opposing offensive lines. His presence next to Gervon Dexter could form a powerful duo in the middle.
Scouting Report: Stewart is a versatile lineman who can play in any scheme. His ability to disrupt the run game and explode off the snap will make him a valuable asset for the Bears.
4th Round: Pick #112 via San Francisco – S Sonny Styles (Ohio State)
Hometown: Pickerington, OH | Age: 21 | Height: 6’4″ | Weight: 235 lbs
Position: Safety | College: Ohio State | Projected Pick: 4th Round
Why the Bears Need Him: With uncertainty around Jaquan Brisker’s future, the Bears need to add another safety. Styles brings a combination of size, athleticism, and hitting power. He’s a potential star, though he requires some development.
Scouting Report: 40-time: 4.48 seconds. Styles has a 39-inch vertical and a 600-pound squat, showing elite athleticism.
5th Round: Pick #142 – RB Bhayshul Tuten (Virginia Tech)
Hometown: New Jersey | Age: 22 | Height: 5’11” | Weight: 209 lbs
Position: Running Back | College: Virginia Tech | Projected Pick: 5th Round
Why the Bears Need Him: Tuten is a fast, explosive runner with great vision and acceleration. He could serve as a complementary back to Khalil Herbert and offer depth behind the starter.z
Scouting Report: 40-time: 4.32 seconds. Tuten rushed for over 1,100 yards and 15 TDs in his college career. d.
5th Round: Pick #145 via NYJ – WR Theo Wease Jr. (Mizzou)| Age: 22 | Height: 6’2″ | Weight: 192 lbs
Position: Wide Receiver | College: Mizzou | Projected Pick: 5th Round
Why the Bears Need Him: If the Bears move on from veteran Keenan Allen, Wease Jr. could provide depth and red zone reliability. With his excellent hands and ability to make plays in big moments, he can become a key contributor.
