I know what you’re going to say.
Yes, the 2022 NFL Draft isn’t for another 6 months. No, this isn’t my subtle way of implying I think the Bears’ season is over; in fact, at 2-2, I think quite the opposite. But with a rookie quarterback in tow, these next few drafts could decide which young players Justin Fields develops alongside and how effective the team could be during his rookie contract.
The Bears currently don’t have a pick in Rounds 1 or 4 due to the trade-up for Fields, and they swapped their seventh-round pick for an addition fifth-rounder in the Anthony Miller trade.
