The Chicago Bears were the team that earned the first overall pick for finishing with the worst record last season, although they made a big trade with the Carolina Panthers. They are expected to take Bryce Young, but the draft always has surprises prepared. There is another storyline to follow in the Houston Texans taking or passing on C.J. Stroud with the 2nd pick.

 

Other top prospects that should hear their names this day are Jalen Carter, Will Anderson Jr., and Bijan Robinson. There are other intriguing options like quarterbacks Will Levis and Anthony Richardson, so it’s going to be a night where the uncertainty should be left behind when the picks are announced.
