Chicago Bears should explore these trades for Jets’ no. 2 pick

Chicago Bears stud corner Kyle Fuller is an enticing trade chip
In another deal which features the Bears not simply getting that lone pick back in return, the Bears will trade a haul of draft selections. Chicago would send New York their 20th overall pick this year along with a third rounder in this year’s draft.
Beyond this year, the Bears are only giving up picks in 2022 — nothing in 2023. Next year’s first and fourth-round picks would go to the Jets, too. Along with that second overall selection, the Bears would receive a fifth-round pick from the Jets this year. On the surface, it’s four picks for two in exchange.
However, that’s not all. The Bears would also be sending Pro Bowl cornerback Kyle Fuller to the Jets in this deal, which would be hard to pass up for new head coach Robert Saleh.
The Jets were 28th in overall pass defense this year in terms of yardage given up and also allowed over 69 percent completion to opposing quarterbacks. With Fuller, they get a dominant corner who allows well under that number and immediately upgrades that secondary.
A year after dealing Jamal Adams to Seattle, Saleh will now be looking to rebuild the defensive back room and Fuller would be one heck of a start.
