Draft season runs all year long, baby.
Even though the 2021 NFL Draft is only two months in the rearview mirror, the summer is a perfect opportunity to establish the top names in college football and find potential breakout candidates to keep an eye on in the upcoming season.
The Bears don’t have a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft after using it to trade up for Justin Fields, but they do find themselves with a handful of potential needs that they could address on Day 2 or later. For the sake of including them in this exercise, I decided to expand my first mock draft of the 2022 draft cycle into two rounds.
