It’s safe to say the Bears made a splash on Friday. Chicago traded out of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, moving down to No. 9 in a trade with the Panthers. Among multiple future draft picks, the Bears acquired star wide receiver DJ Moore and a second-round pick this year, specifically the No. 62 overall pick Carolina acquired by trading away running back Christian McCaffrey. Still armed with the most cap space in the NFL and plenty of draft flexibility, the Bears’ potential options in this year’s draft are seemingly endless. They still have plenty of needs — many of which will presumably be filled in free agency — but such a massive trade puts Chicago in an extremely favorable position.
