The Chicago Bears have rolled to a 9-3 record to reign supreme in the NFC amid their first season under head coach Ben Johnson. However, their roster still has several holes that require another strong draft class to fortify.
Bears general manager Ryan Poles has leaned into building the secondary via the draft with the likes of Jaquan Brisker, Kyler Gordon, and Tyrique Stevenson. He's addressed the other two levels of the defense through prized free agent Tremaine Edmunds and a bold trade for Montez Sweat.
Although Poles drafted a promising edge rusher in Austin Booker a couple of years ago, a newly minted mock draft has him prioritizing defensive end far earlier than he ever has during his tenure in Chicago.
