Chicago is in an ideal position for a team with a 3-14 record: a young quarterback on the team, a first draft pick, and promising quarterbacks that the teams will fight for. I
he Bears have already made it known, their first draft pick is up for sale. And according to Robert Mays (The Athletic), the price for a team outside the top 5 that wants to move up to reclaim the top pick would be three first-round draft picks (2023, 2024, 2025) and one second-round pick (2023).
It’s a ransom quite similar to what was spent in 2021 by the 49ers to move up from 12th to 3rd pick.
San Francisco had given up three first-round picks and one third-round pick to reclaim Miami’s spot and select Trey Lance.
You have to go back to 2016 to find a team that rose to first position in the Draft to select a quarterback. It was the Rams, who had done business with the Titans. Los Angeles had recovered the first overall choice, accompanied by a choice in the 4th round and another in the 6th. For this batch, the Rams had dropped their first-round pick (15th), two second-round picks (43rd, 45th), one in the 6th round (177th), as well as their first-round and third-round picks the year next.
