9. What are the Chicago Bears options

This could end up being as good of a situation for the Chicago Bears as you can ask for. First, they can go offensive line, and they would take the first name on the board. If they wanted Peter Skoronski, he is there, but they also have the real left tackle options as well.

Jalen Carter is still on the board in this situation. That is an obvious option, and so is someone like Lukas Van Ness. Lastly, the big name is C.J. Stroud. Maybe it is Stroud, maybe it is Will Levis, or it could be Anthony Richardson. Still, the odds are growing that a quarterback could be here.

This opens up the gates for a trade-down as well. Any team who wants the top tackle, the top player, or the top quarterback left can come up and get them. This is a great spot to be in.
