For the second year in a row, the Chicago Bears are considering making a franchise-changing choice. They will again be selected first in the NFL Draft. General manager Ryan Poles traded that pick last season for a haul that will be profitable for years to come.
The Carolina Panthers and the Bears exchanged first-round selections. They also acquired wide receiver DJ Moore, a 2024 first-round pick, a 2025 second-round pick, and a 2023 second-round pick. They selected cornerback Tyrique Stevenson and offensive lineman Darnell Wright with the 2023 picks; both players had excellent rookie campaigns. The benefits for the Bears might now last for even longer years with another #1 pick.
Moore was one of the best things about the transaction. In the end, 2023 proved to be his career season with the Bears. He totaled 8 touchdowns and 1,364 receiving yards on 96 catches. In the history of the team, his receiving yards were the fourth-most in a season.
