The Chicago Bears hold all the power this NFL offseason. The team enters the spring with a potential franchise quarterback in Justin Fields, the most salary-cap space available and the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
With the Bears being the rare team to pick No. 1 that doesn't appear to be in the market for a quarterback, and with Alabama's Bryce Young, Ohio State's C.J. Stroud and Kentucky's Will Levis considered some of the top players available, it is expected Chicago will look to trade that pick. Given the fervor surrounding that trio and the importance of having an elite quarterback in the NFL, the Bears stand to gain a bevy of picks to — in some cases — draft just a few spots lower in 2023 while acquiring multiple early round picks in 2024 and 2025.
