Bradley Chubb thinks Chicago Bears could trade up to get him

The Chicago Bears were one of only three teams to meet with Bradley Chubb over the last couple of months. Could they trade up and get him?

The Chicago Bears will have several options at no. 8 overall tonight in the 2018 NFL Draft. This is one of the first drafts in a while that seems like all craziness could break loose within the top 10 picks, and fortunately for the Bears, this is a good thing.

One particular player who figures to go before the Bears pick at no. 8 is by far the best defensive player in the draft — N.C. State’s Bradley Chubb.

As a pass rush specialist, Chubb is a monster and will be a future stud for a long time. To pair him up with Leonard Floyd would be a dream for Vic Fangio — a dream that just might come true.

Chubb told the Chicago Sun-Times Wednesday that he thinks the Bears could move up and select him Thursday night. Per the Times:

"“You never know what’s going to happen in the draft. I might fall down there, they can trade up. You just never know. I’m glad I got the opportunity to go out there and talk to them and show them who I am as a person.”"

Chubb has an idea of the Bears’ scheme and knows he would be a phenomenal fit because of how he was used in college.

"“The base packages, when they had the linebacker set up as a rush end, pretty much — luckily for me I was able to do both in college. We had packages where I was standing up, dropping back, doing everything, doing this and that, playing like a linebacker on my feet.”"

If Chicago were to trade up for Chubb, they would likely have to give up quite a bit, depending on where he fell. Most experts think Chubb won’t fall out of the top four picks, so the Bears would have to likely give up either a future first-round pick or multiple second and third-round picks along with the no. 8 selection.

Would it be worth it for Pace to sacrifice multiple picks in a third straight draft? He’s already gone up and gotten both Floyd two years ago and Mitch Trubisky in 2017. Remember, though, you can’t put anything past this guy. He’s convicted when he’s convicted — and you can’t tell him differently.
