The Chicago Bears have secured the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, which has fans elated heading into an important offseason.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles has a plethora of options for what he can do with the No. 1 pick. But the general consensus among fans and experts is that Chicago will trade down.

There are a number of scenarios that include the Bears trading back several times and acquiring players and picks. They could also choose to stay put in the top spot and draft a top defensive talent like Alabama’s Will Anderson Jr. or Georgia’s Jalen Carter.
