Chicago Bears 2021 NFL Draft: Ideal Round 1 trade-back scenarios
By Ryan Heckman
The Chicago Bears help an AFC powerhouse land their missing piece
This is one of the most interesting trades the Bears could possibly pull off if the Buffalo Bills went the route below. A trade-up for the Bills could mean that their offense would be approaching the level of Kansas City.
Bills’ pick at No. 20: RB Travis Etienne, Clemson
Bears’ pick at No. 30: S Trevon Moehrig, TCU
In trading with the Bills, the Bears would move back 10 spots and select TCU safety Trevon Moehrig, whom many look at as the best safety prospect in this year’s draft. Moehrig would come in and immediately start next to Eddie Jackson, finally solidifying that position.
The Bears also get a pick in the second round at pick No. 61, giving them a pair of picks within 10 spots of each other.
Back to the Bills, who get quite the prize at pick No. 20. They end up taking Clemon running back Travis Etienne, who plugs in as their starting running back and gives Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs and that offense a lightning bolt in the backfield. Etienne can do it all, and the Bills’ offense will have found their single missing piece.
