Remember all those mock drafts we wrote from January through March? Forget ‘em all. Throw ‘em away. Ryan Poles drastically changed the NFL draft landscape when he traded the Bears’ No. 1 overall pick to the Panthers in exchange for the No. 9 pick and No. 61 pick in this year’s draft, plus a 2024 first-round, a 2025 second-rounder and D.J. Moore. And so we go back to the drawing board to make new mocks with the Bears’ updated draft capital. As always, these mock drafts aren’t an attempt to accurately predict what will happen when the picks start coming in for real on Apr. 27. That’s impossible. These mock drafts are meant to be a fun way to introduce fans to a wide variety of NFL prospects. So please, enjoy.
