The dust is finally starting to settle after the 2023 NFL Draft and the Chicago Bears have 10 new players they selected over the course of three days who will hopefully become key contributors as early as this upcoming season. General manager Ryan Poles sought to fill key position groups on the team, specifically offensive and defensive line and he followed through. The picks were as follows:
- Tackle Darnell Wright (first round, pick No. 10)
- Defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. (second round, pick No. 53)
- Cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (second round, pick No. 56)
- Defensive tackle Zacch Pickens (third round, pick No. 64)
- Running back Roschon Johnson (fourth round, pick No. 115)
- Wide receiver Tyler Scott (fourth round, pick No. 133)
- Linebacker Noah Sewell (fifth round, pick No. 148)
- Cornerback Terell Smith (fifth round, pick No. 165)
- Defensive tackle Travis Bell (seventh round, pick No. 218)
- Safety Kendall Williamson (seventh round, pick No. 258)
Of course it’s way too early to judge how any of these players will pan out, no matter how high or low they were selected. But we can begin looking at the veterans on the roster and how this draft class affects them. Here are the winners and losers now that the 2023 Bears draft class is set.
