Ranking the positions most likely to be pick at No. 9 by Bears in NFL draft

Assuming the Bears don’t trade back again, here are the positions most likely to be the pick at ninth overall.

We’re just days away from the 2023 NFL draft, where the Chicago Bears are gearing up to welcome a new crop of players to the roster.

After trading the No. 1 pick to the Carolina Panthers for a haul that included two first-rounders, two second-rounders and wide receiver DJ Moore, Chicago is sitting in a prime spot at ninth overall.

There’s been plenty of rumblings about the Bears looking to trade back from ninth overall. And it’s something that would make sense considering there could be a late run on quarterbacks in the top 10.

But, for the sake of this exercise, we assume that Chicago stays put at No. 9 and makes a selection. With that in mind, here are the positions most likely to be the pick at ninth overall.
