With the 24th pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Khalil Mack

Well... Not exactly, but it is kind of what happened.

The Chicago Bears are sitting out day one of the 2019 NFL Draft because last September they sent a package of draft picks to the Oakland Raiders for All-Pro pass rusher Khalil Mack.

Here’s what Bears’ general manager Ryan Pace agreed to send to Oakland.

A first-round draft pick in 2019 and 2020, a third-round pick in 2020, and a 2019 sixth-round pick.

In return for those four selections, the Bears got Mack, who is one of the best players of this generation, a 2020 second-round round draft pick, which looks to be in the top half of the round, and a conditional 2020 fifth-round draft pick.
