With eight picks at their disposal, acquired through trades for Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith and a loss for Chase Claypool, Fowler notes that the Bears are likely to aim for a trade-down scenario. An NFC executive also stated to ESPN's Todd McShay that a trade-back, even if only a few spots, would benefit the Bears as they have numerous needs to address.
Given the scarcity of talented quarterbacks in the draft and the high demand for them among several teams, the Bears' No. 1 pick is even more valuable. The Bears are reportedly open to finding the right offer for their "golden ticket" while remaining in a position to draft a key player.
