The Great Chicago Pick-quisition: How Many Darts Does This Bear Have?
Ah, the Chicago Bears. A team steeped in tradition, with a fanbase as loyal as they come (and possibly thirstier). But lately, there's been a burning question on everyone's mind: just how many draft picks do these gridiron gladiators actually have? Buckle up, folks, because this one's a wilder ride than Mitchell Trubisky's deep ball accuracy.
Originally Equipped for a Draft Day Rodeo
Let's rewind to before the trade frenzy began. The Bears were sitting pretty with a whole buffet of picks – seven to be exact. Enough to potentially field their own team of rookies, assuming those rookies were okay with wearing slightly used shoulder pads.

Then, things got interesting. The Bears started dealing picks like a kid with a surplus of Pokemon cards. A shiny new wide receiver here, a defensive lineman with questionable dance moves there – before you could say "Matt Nagy's offensive scheme," half their draft capital had vanished.
So, How Many Picks Are Left in This Bearded Bakery?
Hold onto your helmets, folks, because this is where it gets murky. The official word from Halas Hall (yes, that's really their HQ) is that the Bears have a measly four picks left. Four! That's about as many quarterbacks they cycled through in the last decade.
But is that the whole story? Knowing the Bears, there's probably a hidden stash of picks somewhere, like Ryan Pace forgot about them under a pile of scouting reports. Maybe they're being held hostage by a disgruntled stadium vendor demanding a better selection of Italian beef. The plot thickens, folks!
Here's the TL;DR for the Impatient Football Fan
- The Bears had seven picks.
- The Bears traded away a bunch of picks.
- Now the Bears have four picks, maybe?
- This whole situation is about as clear as a Chicago winter day.
So, what does this mean for the Bears' future? Well, that depends on who you ask. Optimists will say it shows a bold commitment to winning now (because apparently, four rookies will do the trick). Pessimists will say they've mortgaged the future for a fleeting shot at glory (and a decent shot at going 8-8).
One thing's for sure, though: Draft Day for the Chicago Bears is going to be about as exciting as a Mike Ditka press conference. Grab your popcorn, folks, and get ready for some serious drama!
