The talk of the town in Chicago has been about who will be the Chicago Bears’ next head coach and general manager will be. Now that those two dominos have fallen, it’s time to shift our attention to the first stage of draft season. The 2022 Reese’s Senior Bowl.

The Senior Bowl is a major opportunity for the top seniors of the draft class to showcase their talents against each other. This especially applies to prospects with gaps in their evaluation. Whether it be the level of competition they faced, what they were asked to in college not translating, etc., no prospect is perfect.

The playing field is much more leveled at the Senior Bowl. Prospects will be facing off against some of the best talents in the class, being coached to perform NFL translatable skills by NFL coaching staff.

There are a lot of prospects at this event that the Chicago Bears could target.

It’s no secret that the Bears need to hit this draft out of the park if they want to start this rebuild of sorts on the right foot. That’s why they should use the Senior Bowl to answer some questions about some of these guys because I know I have a few.

At the end of the day, football is a game of matchups. Draft evaluation is how well prospects win their matchup on a snap to snap basis. There isn’t a better place to watch how well a prospect does that than in Mobile.

That said, I will go through and preview some of the top prospects at positions of need and what they can prove at the Senior Bowl:
