Bears’ top 2023 draft prospects: OT Braeden Daniels (No. 12)

Next up in our Bears’ top draft prospects series is Braeden Daniels, who played all five positions along the offensive line at Utah.

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. 12 is Utah offensive lineman Braeden Daniels. Daniels is a versatile offensive lineman who started 43 games and has played all five positions in his college career.

Despite playing tackle for Utah, his arm length makes him better suited to play guard in the NFL, but he’ll need to bulk up and refine his technique to play inside.
