The Chicago Bears apparently will not have much trouble finding a taker if they do decide to trade the top pick in the NFL Draft.

In an appearance on NFL Network Sunday, Ian Rapoport said there is a great deal of buzz about a potential trade involving the No. 1 pick. Rapoport said teams are “scrambling” to try and get up to No. 1, though there is no indication a deal is imminent.

In a quarterback-heavy draft, it makes sense for the Bears to hold out and try to get a huge package in a trade here. They already have Justin Fields, who they can conceivably build around, so a trade would be hugely advantageous.

The Bears are said to be asking a lot for the pick. If the interest is high, however, they could try to drive up the price, so it makes sense for them to wait things out.
