So, what are the implications of this loss for the Bears' upcoming draft prospects?
Following Sunday's defeat, Tankathon currently ranks the Chicago Bears with two of the top three picks in the 2024 NFL draft. The Carolina Panthers' first-round pick, which the Bears own, maintains its position as the second overall selection despite the Panthers' seventh loss of the season. Meanwhile, the Bears' original pick holds the third overall position following their loss to the Saints.
Here's a snapshot of the current top draft picks:
1. Arizona Cardinals (1-7)2. Chicago Bears (via Panthers, 1-7)3. Chicago Bears (2-7)4. New York Giants (2-7)5. New England Patriots (2-7)
While there is still a significant portion of the season left to be played, securing the No. 1 draft pick is by no means guaranteed for Chicago. If they do manage to secure the top selection, it will present a crucial decision for general manager Ryan Poles�whether to trade it or stick with Justin Fields, or potentially use the pick to select a quarterback. However, this decision lies further down the road, especially as other positional concerns continue to emerge.
The Carolina Panthers, currently one of the two one-win teams alongside the Arizona Cardinals, will face the Bears on Thursday Night Football. This presents an opportunity for Chicago to either improve or maintain their position in securing the Panthers' first-round pick if they can secure a victory.
It's worth noting that the draft positioning of the Chicago Bears won't be affected by the results of the Los Angeles Chargers (3-4) and New York Jets (4-3) game, which is scheduled for Monday night.
