NFL draft No. 1 overall pick trade history: 12 deals since 1967

The Chicago Bears own the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, thanks to a 3-14 record and the Houston Texans winning in Week 18 of the 2022 season.

The Bears are in position to take the best prospect available, or trade the top pick and add draft capital or players to complement quarterback Justin Fields, who had a much-improved sophomore season.

So how rare is it for the No. 1 pick to be traded before the NFL draft?
