With the NFL season wrapping up this weekend with the Super Bowl -- have you heard of it? -- it seems as good a time as any for my first NFL mock draft for 2023, and while I've always loved this time of year, this season's draft takes on a bit of added significance for me. sI'm a Chicago Bears fan. The team has never had the No. 1 pick in my lifetime, and while I'd much rather the Bears were playing in the Super Bowl, having the No. 1 pick is an excellent alternative. Particularly when they might already have their franchise QB in Justin Fields. Now, I do not expect the Bears to make the draft's first pick. I believe they will trade the pick, and that's what I have them doing in my first mock. As a point of order going forward, while some like to include trade details in their mocks, I don't. I find them to be beside the point. I care more about why the teams are making the trade than how much value they put on the picks.
