After finishing the 2022 season with a 3-14 record, the Chicago Bears have the No.1 pick in the NFL draft, in addition to seven other selections. Also, Chicago will likely take advantage of the opportunity to trade back, accumulating more picks in this year’s draft.
Over the next few weeks, we’re counting down our top 15 draft prospects for the Bears with scouting reports for each, the team’s need for their position, and the likelihood the Bears draft them.
Next up at No. 7 is Baylor defensive tackle Siaki Ika, or “Apu.” He’s a monster of a defensive lineman that reminds many of Pro Bowler Vita Vea. He’s an elite run-stopper but needs to improve his conditioning to play on third down.
