The 2023 NFL draft kicks off today, and the Chicago Bears need to fill gaps on the offensive line and add depth to the defensive line. With 10 draft picks, the Bears will have plenty of opportunities and draft capital to trade to improve the team.
In my final seven-round mock draft, Chicago spends their first two picks improving the offensive line. First, trading back from ninth overall to select Georgia right tackle Broderick Jones at 15th overall. With an additional second-round pick, the Bears draft Minnesota center John Michael Schmitz, 43rd overall.
It’s a balanced draft, with general manager Ryan Poles finding another trade partner in the middle rounds.
