Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears
Carolina moved up to No. 1 for Bryce Young, while Chicago turned the pick into D.J. Moore, multiple premium selections, and the 2024 No. 1 pick that became Caleb Williams. The value gap makes this a clear Chicago Bears win.

Trade Analysis
This trade still matters because it links two No. 1 overall quarterback stories on one page: Carolina moved up for Bryce Young, then its future first became Caleb Williams for Chicago. The Bears received immediate help and future power. Carolina received the quarterback chance, but the price stripped away too much roster-building value.
