The Chicago Bears have traded the first pick of the fourth round in the 2023 NFL draft to the New Orleans Saints, sliding back 12 spots and landing an additional 2023 selection.
Chicago is sending the 103rd pick to New Orleans in exchange for Nos. 115 (fourth round) and 165 (fifth round), according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
The Bears now have six selections on Day 3 of the NFL draft, including two in the fourth round (Nos. 115, 133), two in the fifth round (Nos. 148, 165) and two in the seventh round (Nos. 218, 258).

General manager Ryan Poles has now made three trades in the 2023 NFL draft, including trading back one spot in the first round with the Philadelphia Eagles and trading up four spots with the Jacksonville Jaguars to select cornerback Tyrique Stevenson.
And considering what we saw from Poles during his first draft last year, he might not be done.
