The Chicago Bears finally got to make their first selections of the 2022 NFL draft. Unfortunately, it wasn’t good news for quarterback Justin Fields.
New Bears general manager Ryan Poles doubled down on defense with both second-round picks. Chicago selected Washington cornerback Kyler Gordon at 39th overall and Penn State safety Jaquan Brisker at 48th overall.
While the Gordon pick wasn’t cause for alarm — especially considering it addressed a huge need in the secondary — but the Brisker selection caused panic among Bears fans.
