Chicago Bears: Ideal trade partners for 2020 NFL Draft

Minnesota Vikings

Looking at teams with some extra picks, you’ll notice that the Minnesota Vikings jump off the page as of late. Why? Well, trading Stefon Diggs for a heavy return certainly helped stack their 2020 draft capital.

Already, the Vikings have two first-round picks. But, I’m not necessarily talking about moving up into the first round. The Vikings also have two third-round picks, though, and that’s where the Bears should look.

A trade with the Vikings could look like this:

Believe it or not, using a value chart courtesy of Pro Football Reference, this deal still favors the Vikings. However, to give up three picks for one single pick should maybe favor the team giving up a trio of picks.

In this instance, though, Pace adds two net selections, including two in the third round which is huge. Now, the Bears have a chance to land three top-100 prospects, in essence.

Pace would get his shot at landing more than one of prospects like: Anthony Gordon, Brycen Hopkins, Ben Bredeson or even the often-debated Jake Fromm — among others. The Bears would have a lot more flexibility after a deal like this, and I think Pace should explore something along these lines.
