"There have been seven instances of a team moving up for a QB in the first round at the 25th pick or later in the common draft era, including the Giants with Jaxson Dart last year."
"Based solely on history, the Bears appear to be in a sweet spot for a trade during Thursday night's first round of the NFL Draft."
"A run on a certain position group could leave the Bears without their top options, prompting the front office to start sniffing around for possible trade partners."
Ryan Poles has traded in every draft since becoming the Bears' general manager in 2022. Historical data shows teams often trade up for quarterbacks at the 25th pick or later. The Bears are positioned well for a potential trade in the 2026 NFL Draft. Factors such as a run on specific position groups could prompt the Bears to seek trade partners. The possibility of trading back is more feasible than previously considered, especially since there is no strong attachment to a specific prospect at pick No. 25.
