For his entire time as the Chicago Bears’ general manager, Ryan Poles has shown a willingness to move around in the draft in order to get the players he wants. While he’s not averse to taking deals, the fact of the matter is that most of his trades, like most of the trades throughout the league, still fall within the constraints of the famed Jimmy Johnson chart. Additionally, it is completely consistent that future picks are devalued by one round when that math is performed.

Last year, there was a belief that a weak-ish top of the draft might soften the trade market and drive costs down. It didn’t. The best way to get ahead remains leveraging assets like DJ Moore to gain additional picks, preferably in the first two days of the draft.

With that out of the way, the chart below is an attempt to summarize the range of moves available to Chicago in the first few days.

In simple terms, thanks to the DJ Moore trade, the Bears have significantly more power to move around than might be expected from a playoff team, with the ability to get into the Top 10 if desired and the capacity to find a number of “just right size” trades depending on who might be left on the board.
