There's not much mystery left about what the Chicago Bears will do with the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. With just over a week remaining until draft day, most discourse about the Bears has turned to what they could do with their next pick, currently 9th overall. The Bears have just four selections in this year's draft, leading many to believe that GM Ryan Poles will likely trade down in the first round. But there are also rumors that Poles want more 'blue chippers,' elite prospects who can make an immediate impact. What if, instead of trading down from 9, Poles trades up?
