The 2022 NFL draft wrapped just a few days ago, but it’s never too early to start thinking about next year’s draft. Especially for a Chicago Bears team that currently has a first-round selection after not having one three of the last four years.
General manager Ryan Poles used the 2022 draft to shore up the secondary with the selections of cornerback Kyler Gordon and safety Jaquan Brisker and the offensive line with four picks. But could 2023 be the year when the Bears use their first-round pick to land a top playmaker at wide receiver to help quarterback Justin Fields?
