The Bears had the top pick, but moved back to No. 9 in a deal with the Panthers last month.
In a pick the Bears will be following for years, the Panthers used the selection got from them in a trade last month to take Alabama quarterback Bryce Young first overall in the NFL Draft.
The Bears claimed the top pick in January after finishing with a league-worst 3-14 record, but it was widely assumed they would deal it since they wouldn’t be looking for a quarterback.
