The Chicago Bears are trading the #1 draft pick in this years upcoming NFL draft to the Carolina Panthers. The Bears are going to acquire the #9 overall pick, #61 overall pick, a first round pick in 2024, a second round pick in 2025, and wide receiver DJ Moore. The Bears have Justin Fields at quarterback and were rumored to be looking to trade the pick since they got it. The Panthers look like they will be drafting a quarterback but it is still unknown who it is. This is the first time the #1 overall draft pick has been traded in the NFL draft since 2016 when the Rams traded up to #1 and drafted Jared Goff. The NFL draft is April 27th in Kansas City.
