This summer, the Chicago Bears are free to assemble their roster however they see fit, even if that means trading the first overall pick for the second consecutive year.
On Friday, January 26, Bill Zimmerman of SB Nation’s Windy City Gridiron wrote a mock draft in which the Bears gave the Atlanta Falcons the first overall pick in exchange for a huge haul of draft picks, including two first-round selections.
Ryan Poles discovers his trading partner and is overjoyed to receive his money back. The Falcons are prepared to pay the price because they have a strong belief in [Caleb] Williams, according to Zimmerman. “Poles imposes a ‘Caleb tax’ on the Falcons by utilizing a similar framework to the one he employed with the Carolina Panthers the previous season. The eighth, forty-third, and seventy-fourth overall picks are all awarded to the Bears. Additionally, the Falcons submit their first-round pick from 2025, their fourth-round pick from 2025, and their second-round pick from 2026. Wide receiver Drake London is also included in the package from the Falcons.
