Bears trade back from No. 1, shore up defensive line in Matt Miller’s 2-round mock draft

In Matt Miller’s new 2-round mock draft, the Bears trade back from No. 1 and shore up the defensive line with their first two picks.

The Bears have the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL draft, where the expectation is general manager Ryan Poles will look to trade back for additional draft capital.

Chicago should have no shortage of suitors for the top pick, as there are a number of teams in need of a quarterback this offseason. And if a team falls in love with one of the top prospects — be it Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud or Will Levis — the Bears could be the beneficiary of their desperation.

With the Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl in the books, ESPN’s Matt Miller unveiled his new two-round mock draft. Chicago has a number of needs to address on their roster, but Miller has them targeting one of their biggest weaknesses in the first two rounds: the defensive line.
