Bears' perceived top trade asset makes even less sense than it did before

With the heavy lifting of free agency over for this year, the focus for the Chicago Bears and the other 31 NFL teams now shifts to the draft.

With that in mind, John Kosko of Pro Football Focus has named each team's most valuable trade asset heading toward April's draft. For the Bears, he went with cornerback Jaylon Johnson.

"Johnson is three years removed from an elite season that earned him a massive contract extension. He followed that campaign by ranking fifth among cornerbacks in PFF advanced coverage grade. However, in 2025, he fell outside the top 32 as the entire secondary struggled with consistency when not generating turnovers.
