Like every 2018 NFL mock draft before and will follow, things are going to change and it’s no different for this latest rendition.

This latest scenario is built around the idea that Chicago finishes up with the #1 pick. It wasn’t done purely to hate on the team. They did just finish 3-13 and are going through a rebuild. At the same time it was done because it creates a fascinating scenario. Since they hold that pick and don’t need a quarterback, having drafted Mitch Trubisky, then what do they do with it? Smart money says they swing a trade, and…spoiler alert.
