The Bears will have two top-10 picks for just the third time since 1952.

Sunday’s results meant the Bears, who already knew they were going to have the Panthers’ No. 1 overall pick by virtue of last year’s trade, will also pick ninth. They earned that spot by being one of four teams to finish the season 7-10. Their .464 opponent winning percentage is better than that of the Falcons, who will pick eighth, and worse than that of the Jets and Vikings.
