The 2022 NFL draft is here, although there won’t be much to expect from the Chicago Bears on Night 1. For the third time in the last four years, the Bears are without a first-round selection. And new general manager Ryan Poles only has six current draft pick to work with.
The good news is Chicago does have two selections in the second round (39th and 48th overall), as well as the 71st overall selection. There are opportunities to nab some impact players at some glaring positions of need, including wide receiver, offensive line and cornerback.
Ahead of the draft, our Bears Wire staff is taking a crack at predicting what Chicago does with its first selection at 39th overall, and there was one position that we nearly all agreed on.
