According to Adam Schefter, the Chicago Bears are trying to trade out of the No. 3 overall pick before their selection is up.
The 2017 NFL Draft is set to go live any minute and the speculation and reports are flying left and right. With this draft having plenty of unknowns and every pick having the potential to cause utter chaos for the rest of the teams, anything can happen. At the No. 3 pick, the Chicago Bears can make that happen.
Adam Schefter is reporting that the Bears are considering trading back from the No. 3 pick. With plenty of options to choose from and really no clear cut decision to be made when they do end up on the clock, it could make sense for the Bears to trade back.
Here we go: Bears are considering trading back from No. 3, per sources.

Depending upon how far they end up moving down, they could very well score a haul. Could there be a run on quarterbacks this early in the draft or could it be for a star running back like Leonard Fournette? Whatever the case may be,
