Top 10 second round options for the Chicago Bears in 2022 NFL Draft

The time has come, Chicago Bears fans. The 2022 NFL Draft has arrived, and Thursday night the first round kicks off.

Of course, a big part of the offseason conversation in regards to the Bears has been how first year general manager Ryan Poles will operate without a first-round pick. Could the Bears trade into the first round? Sure. But, it’s unlikely.

Instead, Poles spoke in his pre-draft press conference about his being “in the business” of moving back and acquiring more draft capital.

But, where will the Bears move back? They could certainly use one of their two picks in the second round to do so. But, Poles will absolutely come away with at least one player in the second round — and probably, still two.

Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears have a good amount of talented players to choose from on their Round 2 draft board.

Even if the Bears chose to move back from either pick 39 or pick 48, they should end up with two picks in the second round, plus additional capital in either the third or fourth round as well.

With so many current needs on the roster, Poles has a tough task ahead of him. But, the strategy should remain the same: pick the best player on your board when on the clock.

The first round should end up seeing a late run on quarterbacks, plus a whole lot of edge rushers selected. There is going to be excellent talent to fall out of the first round and become available in the second.

Additionally, there are some strong Round 2 grades that the Bears could pursue. So, here we are. Which players are going to be the best options to look for in the second round? Let’s get to it.
