2024 rookie stat projections for the Chicago Bears' recent draft class

Any team with two picks in the Top 10 of any draft will have an opportunity for a potentially franchise-altering haul. The blueprint played immediate dividends for the Texans last season, as they made one of the most impressive one-year turnarounds in recent history after grabbing CJ Stroud with the second pick and following it up with a trade-up for Will Anderson Jr. third-overall.

The Chicago Bears hope to follow in Houston's footsteps with their own potent duo of Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze. The pair should significantly amp up Chicago's offensive firepower but don't underestimate the other players the team added through the draft.

Despite only having five selections, the Bears managed to identify (at least) four players who should provide an immediate impact. It's hard to imagine a scenario where the draft went better for Chicago than it did, as they greatly improved their squad in all three phases.
