Three trade-down scenarios for the Chicago Bears in the 2023 NFL Draft

The Chicago Bears already made waves with a massive NFL Draft trade, sending the first overall pick to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for D.J. Moore, the ninth overall pick, a late second-round pick this year, and a first-round pick in next year's draft, but the team may not be done quite yet.

General manager Ryan Poles has already stated the possibility of an additional trade-down being on the table. Per Chicago Sun-Times reporter Jason Lieser, Poles is open to trading down again, stating that "it depends on what the deal looks like... we stay fluid". Poles, who was interviewed at Alabama's recent pro day, also commented on the fact that there are multiple different "drop-offs" on a position-by-position basis that could make it difficult to trade back, but it seems like the Bears' phone will be open for incoming calls on draft night.

Should the Chicago Bears trade down in the first round again?

With the ninth overall pick in this year's draft, the Chicago Bears are still firmly in a position where they can trade down to amass even more selections both this year and in 2024. There are still many question marks at the top of this year's draft, and while it is almost impossible to guess who is going to be available when the Bears are on the clock, here are three teams that could call Chicago and look to move up this April.
