I’m at the point in mock draft season where I won’t even bother with a mock unless it has the Chicago Bears trading back from the first overall selection. I know it takes two to tango, and the Bears may not get the haul they are hoping for, but there is no way they’ll sit at one and pick defensive players with so many franchises looking to move up for their quarterback.
General manager Ryan Poles will sift through the offers and take the best package of picks, preferably with a 2024 first-rounder coming back. He knows his franchise needs talent, and the best way to do that is to have as many picks in the draft as possible.
