The Chicago Bears could not have asked for a better Week 6 when it comes to the 2024 NFL draft picture.
The Bears were competitive with the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but they ultimately lost and retained their No. 2 position in the draft order.
The Carolina Panthers' sixth consecutive loss kept the Bears at the No. 1 overall pick for another week.
Carolina's trade to land Bryce Young at the top of the 2023 draft could look worse in a few weeks if the No. 1 overall pick fails to improve and the Panthers continue to underperform elsewhere on the roster.
