The Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs will be selecting last in the first round of the NFL Draft in April due to their finishing the season by winning the title.

On the other hand, the Carolina Panthers, who finished with the worst record in the NFL, will not pick first as they traded their pick to Chicago as they obtained last year's first pick of the draft and used it to select former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. Young did not have a successful rookie season and that is why the Panthers finished with the worst record in the league.

The Bears have a tough decision to make as to whether they keep the pick and select a quarterback, or trade the pick for a haul of other picks throughout the three-day draft. The Bears seem to be set at quarterback with Justin Fields coming off of a career season, but the ability to trade the pick and trade Fields to a team that needs a quarterback might be in their plans.

The pick has a lot of value as other teams would love to use the pick on former University of Southern California signal caller Caleb Williams, who is also a former Heisman Trophy winner. Whether the Bears select Williams and start over again with a rookie quarterback or trade the pick will be determined over the next two months.

Only time will tell.
