The Bears have made an interesting move in the latest USA Today mock draft, trading back and securing a talented edge rusher.

While they are expected to pick quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall selection, the focus is on their ninth overall pick.

By trading back to the 13th pick, they aim to address their need for an edge rusher by selecting Jared Verse from Florida State.

This strategic move allows them to gain additional draft capital and fill a crucial position on their team.

Overall, if this scenario comes to fruition, it would be a successful start for the Bears in the 2024 draft.
