The Athletic always produces an interesting mock draft because they can pull from their team of 32 NFL beat writers and have them make all the mock decisions. In their latest, they have the Chicago Bears pulling off the much-anticipated double trade back before settling in to make the pick at eight overall.
Their first mocked trade was the Colts coming up to Chicago's first overall selection by sending their 2023 number 4 overall pick, their 2023 second-rounder (36 overall), a 2023 fifth-rounder (via Buffalo), and Indianapolis' 2024 first-round pick. They then took Alabama quarterback Bryce Young.
