Chicago Bears Rumors: 3 first-round trades to make with the Titans

Trade Number 3: The Chicago Bears make a slight move to help for 2023
Lastly, Poles could get creative and try to acquire one early second rounder from the Titans while swapping first-round picks with them.
This is somewhat of a “buy now, pay later” type of situation for the Bears, who actually give up more picks than they’re acquiring here. However, they get the 41st overall pick in the draft this year and pay for it a round later by giving Tennessee their third-round selection at no. 64. The Titans also get a seventh-round pick next year in the deal.
Think about it this way, though. With this deal, the Bears have three picks in the second round, coming at no. 41, no. 53 and no. 61. That’s four picks in the top 61 picks for Poles, who could easily find four starting-caliber players there.
You might end up seeing a starting offensive lineman, defensive lineman, cornerback and whomever the best player available is at the fourth pick.
