Bears mock drafts: Who Chicago is projected to take in Rounds 2-3

The 2023 NFL draft is underway, and the Chicago Bears have a busy night ahead of them on Day 2.

After selecting Tennessee offensive tackle Darnell Wright in the first round, the Bears have three selections between Rounds 2 and 3, including a pair of second rounders at 53rd and 61st overall, as well as the first third-round pick at 64th.

Chicago has a slew of needs to address, including defensive tackle, edge rusher and cornerback, and they have nine draft picks between Days 2 and 3. And it still wouldn’t be a surprise to see general manager Ryan Poles trade back to acquire more draft capital.

Here’s a look at who the latest mock drafts have the Bears selecting in Rounds 2 and 3.
