Owners of the No. 1 NFL draft pick the last two years, the Chicago Bears will have to wait until No. 10 for their first selection this year.
General manager Ryan Poles traded away the first pick in 2023, and after winding up at No. 10 following another trade, he selected right tackle Darnell Wright. The Bears kept the top pick last year and used it on quarterback Caleb Williams.
In the last decade the 10th pick also has yielded wide receivers Garrett Wilson (New York Jets) and DeVonta Smith (Philadelphia Eagles) and quarterbacks J.J. McCarthy (Minnesota Vikings), Josh Rosen (Arizona Cardinals) and Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs).
