NY Giants have officially used Chicago Bears 1st round pick

In 2021, the Chicago Bears traded their 2022 first-round draft pick t the New York Giants so that they can move up and select Justin Fields out of Ohio State University. Now, the Bears can only hope that Fields makes it worth it for them as they try to finally have a good offense.

The Bears were awful in 2021 so that led to New York landing a top ten pick in the 2022 Draft from them. In fact, they had the Bears pick land at seventh overall and they had their own pick at fifth. With the fifth pick, they selected Kayvon Thibodeaux out of Oregon.

The Carolina Panthers came up and made a pick right after before handing it right back to the Giants who then made the pick using the selection given to them by the Chicago Bears. With that pick, they took Evan Neal from the University of Alabama. He is an offensive tackle.

That is an outstanding pick for them. We don’t know if Daniel Jones is going to be the quarterback for very long in New York but we know that Neal is going to try and protect him next year and for however long Jones sticks around.

The New York Giants officially used the Chicago Bears 2022 NFL Draft pick.

Regardless of who is under center for the Giants, Neal is going to be there on the line in front of him. This is something that Giants fans will be extremely excited about. He is a very good player that is going to play in the NFL right away.

They were not a very good team in 2021 but some added pass protection will really help them elevate as a team. They are a franchise that use to build their offense around a good line and they were brilliant because of it. Now, they are trying to repeat history.

This isn’t something for Bears fans to be upset about. Yes, it would be nice to have Evan Neal on this team right now. They could really use him. However, he would be useless if he was protecting a bad quarterback. The Bears, unlike the Giants, have a quarterback that is worth protecting. Hopefully, this is something that works out for the Bears as Fields continues to get better.
