You are correct, they have a ton of picks.

Does Seattle roll the dice and take Carter? It's a huge gamble. If he hits his ceiling, you have Warren Sapp. If he hits the floor and the personal issues ring true, the GM gets fired.
I could see a trade here. Carter is a gamble but Tyree Wilson is a solid Edge rusher who fits what Seattle does.
With the 5th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois.
Arizona making another trade, now with the Lions.
Arizona moving up to #6. Detroit back to #12 and pick up a 2nd rounder.

With the 6th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Paris Johnson, OT, Ohio State.
Bears still in line for Skoronski. Hopefully ATL does not pick him.
With the 7th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders select Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech.
If Carter falls to the Bears....would they pull the trigger? They're one pick away from having a very, very interesting situation on their hands.
Carter falling. Will Carter be there when the Bears pick? Will the Bears trade down?
They need so much.... think they've got to trade out for multiple picks.
My assumption is Skoronski but I'll be damned if Carter wouldn't be tempting to take.
Eagles apparently traded with the Bears.
With the 8th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas.
Bijan Robinson to the Falcons?
Trading out. The Bears want to address the offensive line first and foremost. Can't disagree. The lure of taking Carter might have gotten me to pull the trigger however. Potential generational talent.
With the 9th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia.
With the 10th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee.
Not sure if you were intending to or not but try and not tip picks, please.
Wow!!!! Shocked. Darnell Wright?
That highlight film was very encouraging for the Bears.
Here's the NFL.com draft info on Darnell Wright:

Round 1
NFL Comparison
D.J. Fluker
Overview
Right tackle prospect who used his size and power to overcome athletic limitations and spotty technique on the collegiate level. The tape can be a little uneven for Wright with poor block finishes followed up by aggressive pancakes. He played with much better body control and footwork in 2022, though. Wright is capable of staying at right tackle at the next level provided he’s given protection help from time to time. While he was often a positional blocker at Tennessee, he’s a very talented drive blocker when allowed to fire out. There will be inconsistent outings, but Wright should develop into a decent starting tackle with the potential to kick inside if necessary.
Strengths
-Big-bodied tackle who carries his weight well.
-Bulldozer vibes when working double teams and combo blocks.
-Able to stand his ground through one-on-one power swaps.
-Jolts linebackers out of positioning with push.
-Adequate foot slide to catch inside movement.
-Uses length for forceful redirection in protection.
-Feet appeared much calmer in 2022.
-Stops speed-to-power attempts consistently
Weaknesses
-Gets very little bend in his two-point stance.
-More bear-hugger than technician at point of attack.
-Below average hand resets and finish as run blocker.
-Might need a shallow pocket to hold up in pass pro.
-More of a catcher than puncher.
-Shows confusion against twist.
