Bears Wire

● By Nate Atkins
The NFL Scouting Combine is here, and despite increased rumors of a trade, the Chicago Bears still hold the No.1 overall pick for the 2023 draft. This week in Indianapolis, coaches will have an opportunity to see players work out in person and continue updating their draft boards before the draft night in April. There are 16 picks in this latest seven-round mock draft, and only one selection won’t be in Indianapolis. In this version, multiple trades were made, not just in the first round but later rounds, as the Bears accumulated picks to align the roster with general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus’ vision.
