One of the most thrilling moments for any first-round draft pick is getting to put on the hat of the team that selects him before stepping on stage with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Last year, Mitch Trubisky had the thrill of stepping on stage in Philadelphia while putting on his Chicago Bears cap ahead of embracing the commissioner. Just a few short weeks away from the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the newest version of the Bears draft hat has been released.

Made by New Era, the flat-brimmed hat features the famous Chicago moniker of "Monsters of the Midway" a nickname that was popularized in the 1940s when the Bears were one of the most successful teams of that era.

The 2018 Chicago Bears Draft cap will be available HERE at Fanatics at 8am ET on Thursday 4/12!

The Bears hold the eighth overall pick in this year's draft, meaning there is a chance one of the top prospects from this class will be donning the hat on stage in Arlington, Texas with Goodell. A total of 22 prospects have been invited to this year's draft. Of those scheduled to attend, Virginia Tech's Tremaine Edmunds, Alabama's Minkah Fitzpatrick, Florida State's Derwin James and Ohio State's Denzel Ward have a chance to walk across the stage wearing one of the "Monsters of the Midway" hats.

For the Bears, this offseason has been big on change. The team moved on from head coach John Fox following three disappointing seasons on January 1. General manager Ryan Pace received a contract extension and went on his way trying to find the perfect fit as head coach. After less than a week of searching, Pace landed former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy for the position. He is now tasked with getting the most out of Trubisky in his second year in the league.

Nagy brought along a new offensive staff and hired former Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich as his offensive coordinator and Harry Hiestand as the team's offensive line coach. One of his biggest moves of the offseason was retaining Vic Fangio as the team's defensive coordinator. Fangio helped lead the team to a top-10 finish on defense last season despite the units struggles with injuries throughout the season. Former Bears assistant Chris Tabor, following a long run with the Cleveland Browns, joined the organization as the special teams coordinator.

On the field the Bears made big additions by signing tight end Trey Burton, backup quarterback Chase Daniel, kicker Cody Parkey, outside linebacker Aaron Lynch, guard Earl Watford and wide receivers Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel in free agency. Additionally, the team also brought back the likes of Kyle Fuller, Prince Amukamara, Sam Acho and Sherrick McManis.

The Bears still have a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball and the hope is whoever is rocking this hat on draft day will become a new face of the franchise for years to come.
