Chicago Bears Mock Draft: Fix OL while adding a WR and TE
The 2022-23 National Football League season is officially over. The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions which capped off what was an incredible season. Now, the Chicago Bears are on the clock.
Because they had the worst record in the NFL this season, Chicago will make the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Well, that is unless they trade it away. There are going to be more picks and prospects on the way if they do move the pick which is really nice.
Justin Fields was incredible this year so it is highly unlikely that the Bears draft a quarterback with that first pick if they keep it. However, Fields needs help all over the field including support from the defensive side of the ball. This draft is a way for the team to help him get what they need.
