Bear Goggles On

A recent 2023 first-round mock draft from The 33rd Team features the Chicago Bears trading back with the Indianapolis Colts. In the mock trade, the Bears give the first overall pick and a 3rd round selection (103rd overall). In exchange, they receive the Colts’ first-round pick this year and next year, as well as an additional second and third-round pick (35th and 79th overall). The Colts select Kentucky quarterback Will Levis, while the Bears select Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. So how would the rest of the Bears’ draft potential shake up with their new arsenal of picks? Using NFL Mock Database, I simulated how the Bears could approach the remaining rounds of the draft. I factored in no more additional trades, and I selected Will Anderson as this mock draft did. Here is how the Bears could walk away with a stellar 2023 draft class.
