In an unsurprising development, it looks like the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft will be moved.
ESPN reported Monday morning that the Chicago Bears are “leaning toward” trading their No. 1 pick. The Bears went 3-14 last season but general manager Ryan Poles has been public with the franchise’s commitment to rebuilding with Justin Fields at quarterback.
The Bears have had four straight seasons without a winning record and need upgrades throughout the roster. With so many quarterback-hungry teams around the league, the Bears could receive a significant package in exchange for the top pick, allowing them to replenish the depth chart with young talent.
