Moments after the Houston Texans pulled off the week 18 upset against the Indianapolis Colts, I suggested the possibility that the Chicago Bears could pull off the double trade back from the first overall pick. Quarterback-needy teams tend to do desperate things on draft day, and when you factor in two AFC South teams competing to get their QB, the stakes go up.
The latest mock draft from Chad Reuter, one of NFL.com’s Draft Analysts, has the Bears executing a 1-2 swap with the Texans and also getting Houston’s third-rounder in 2023 and their 2024 first-round pick, but then the Bears send them their 2023 fifth-rounder.
