With the 2023 NFL Combine over and free agency less than a week away, it’s time for one more Chicago Bears mock draft before we have several of the team’s biggest roster questions answered.
In this seven-round Bears mock draft, Ryan Poles goes for the jugular and pulls off a double trade back: first to the Colts in return for their second and fourth-round selections, plus next year’s first, and then with the Titans for their third-round selection, next year’s second, and running back Derrick Henry.
Yes, the Bears exit the 2023 NFL Draft with Derrick Henry.
Rumors have surfaced that the Titans are attempting to shop their star running back, and for this mock, I made the deal. Yes, Henry is 29 years old. But he’s averaged 4.7 yards per carry the last three years and would take tremendous pressure off Justin Fields. Even if he only gives Chicago two productive years, I’d call that a win.
Now, on to the draft.
