Chicago will have just under four months to decide on who to take or whether it wants to trade the pick.2023 NFL DRAFT: Below is a breakdown of Chicago's options in the 2023 NFL Draft: 1. Select Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson or the best player availableThe 2022 season established that the Bears have a lot of needs, but quarterback isn't atop the list.Justin Fields showed dynamic scrambling ability during his second NFL season and improved some as a pa ser. He will need to work on accuracy and consistency moving forward, but he made progre s in his first year with offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.So the Bears will probably not be focused on quarterbacks at the top of the 2023 NFL Draft. They instead may look to take the best player available.At present, that would Joe Greene Jersey be Alabama's Will Anderson. The 6-4, 243-pound edge rusher has been highly productive during his three years with the Crimson Tide, racking up 34.5 sacks in 41 games. He finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting in 2021 and should be a threat at the NFL level.Anderson currently projects as . He could face challenges from Georgia's Jalen Carter or Clemson's Myles Murphy during the draft proce s.But if the Bears keep the pick, Anderson should be favored as the selection.MOCK DRAFT:2. Trade down for a bevy of draft capitalOf course, the Bears are not guaranteed to keep the No. 1 selection. After all, they don't need a quarterback, and there are at Ahkello Witherspoon Jersey least three potential top-10 signal-callers in the draft in Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Will Levis.They're positioned perfectly to trade the to a quarterback-needy team for a king's ransom.Teams have become more willing to trade high draft picks in recent years. Often, teams moving up for quarterbacks are willing to surrender at least two first-round picks in addition to other a sets to get their guy. The Bears can guarantee any trade partner that their guy will be on the board.The No. 1 pick hasn't moved all too often, but it happened in 2016 when the Rams moved up to select Jared Goff. The Bears could look for a deal similar to that one; it netted George Pickens T Shirts the Titans two first-round picks, two second-round picks and two third-round picks in exchange for the No. 1 pick and fourth- and sixth-round selections.If the Bears get that type of return for the No. 1 pick in 2023, they could position themselves to land a receiver like Jordan Addison or Quentin Johnson, or an offensive tackle like Paris Johnson or Peter Skoronski. That, plus the other a sets they would receive, would at least make them consider a trade.MORE: 3. Take a quarterback and trade Justin FieldsThe Bears don't need a quarterback and probably won't take one given Fields' progre s. Still, Chicago taking a quarterback can't be ruled out.The Bears will have about four months to fall in love with a quarterback prospect. That could happen, especially considering that coach Matt Eberflus and general manager Ryan Poles were not part of the brain trust that selected Fields in the 2021 NFL Draft.If the Bears really like Bryce Young, for example, they could look to deal Fields, who would fetch a decent price given that there are three years of control left on his contract. Any quarterback Chicago would select at No. 1 would come with five years of control four as a part of his rookie contract and one under a fifth-year option.It appears unlikely that the Bears would do that, but teams have given up on high draft picks in the recent past. The Cardinals did it when they took Kyler Murray No. 1 overall a year after spending a top-10 pick on Josh Rosen.Fields is worlds better than Rosen and has proved he can be a productive Minkah Fitzpatrick Jersey starter. Still, there's a small chance the Bears could be willing to pivot away from him. It all depends on how their current front office believes he stacks up against the top quarterbacks in this year's draft cla s.
