(670 The Score) Score reporter/host Mark Grote believes the Bears could be making a move down in the first round of the NFL Draft.

In his post-NFL Combine mock draft, Grote envisions the Bears making the widely expected selection of USC quarterback Caleb Williams at No. 1 overall. He then projects that the Bears will trade down from No. 9 overall to No. 13 overall in a deal with the Raiders. At No. 13, he has the Bears selecting Georgia tight end Brock Bowers while also picking up an extra fourth-round pick from the Raiders.

"If you can stock and stack that position and have dueling tight ends (with Cole Kmet), that is dangerous in today's NFL," Grote said.
