The Chicago Bears cannot afford to trade up for Trevor Lawrence

When you look at the 2021 draft class, Trevor Lawrence stands out as the clear and obvious choice as the first-overall pick. The problem is, the Chicago Bears have little to no shot at owning the top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. At 5-5 on the season, the Bears are currently 16th overall. There’s no way they catch up to the New York Jets or Jacksonville Jaguars who have combined for one win on the season.
