Bears make surprising trade to get Justin Fields a playmaker in PFF’s new mock draft

The Bears are looking to build around Justin Fields. In PFF’s mock draft, they prove it by trading into the 1st round to land him a weapon.

The 2022 NFL draft kicks off in one month, where the Chicago Bears will be looking to address some important needs with some limited draft capital.

New Bears general manager Ryan Poles will have just six draft picks to fill some big needs at wide receiver, offensive line, defensive back and other positions of need.

But Chicago doesn’t have a first-round selection — after trading it to move up to select quarterback Justin Fields last year. Although they do have two picks in the second round and three in the top 71.

With the NFL draft just around the corner, Pro Football Focus’ Anthony Treash unveiled his new two-round mock draft. For the Bears, that included a surprise trade up into the first round to land Fields a weapon.
