The 2022 NFL draft is in the books, and the Chicago Bears have welcomed 11 new rookies to the fold.
For general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus, their first NFL draft is in the books, and they’ve added some intriguing names to the roster.
The consensus among NFL experts is that Chicago’s draft was decent but not great — mostly because the lack of early help for quarterback Justin Fields. But the Bears added two immediate starters in cornerback Kyler Gordon and safety Jaquan Brisker, as well as a speedster at receiver in Velus Jones Jr. There are some potential late-round gems to get excited about, including edge rusher Dominque Robinson and offensive linemen Braxton Jones and Ja’Tyre Carter.
It’s hard to judge this rookie group before they’ve even hit the practice field. But our Bears Wire staff are sharing their immediate thoughts on Poles’ first draft class.
