My favorite teams
This is the foolproof, balanced mock draft that the Bears need to address as many needs as possible, without trades, to set the team up for a wildcard run in 2023 and deep playoff run in 2024 (pending Fields development, of course).
Pick 9: Darnell Wright, RT, Tenn-In this scenario Wright is the second OT off the board behind PJJ. My logic being that we know Wright can play RT. If we were to draft a young LT like Broderick Jones, or PJJ, if he's available, we'd have both tackle positions learning a "new" position--assuming Braxton moves to RT. Obviously the rookie LT would be adjusting to the NFL game, and Braxton Jones would probably be playing RT for the first time since before college. With Wright at RT, Braxton Jones can continue his development at LT.
Pick 52: Derick Hall, EDGE, Auburn-We need an edge rusher with some juice. Right now we have nobody coming off the edge that can get after the QB. Hall is that.
Pick 61: Gervon Dexter, DT, UF-BIg, long, mean DT. 6'5 315lbs. Excellent run defender that has the tools to develop into a menace inside. Could be our 3T of the future and internal disruptor.
Pick 64: Tyrique Stevenson, CB, Miami-Long, physical CB. 6' 200lbs. Played some safety at UGA before transferring to Miami. Would be an excellent Tampa-2 CB. Would allow Gordon to move inside where he belongs and round out the secondary nicely.
Pick 103: Ricky Stromberg, C, Arkansas-Strong, mean, nasty, athletic, run-blocking center. He could probably start year one, but with Whitehair we won't need him to. Can learn for a year before taking over in 2024.
Pick 133: Braeden Daniels, OG, Utah-Very experienced player with positional versatility. Has played both guard positions and LT so he has some athleticism to his game to be able to play outside--and excel as he was first team all-conference in 2022 as a LT.
Pick 136: Tyjae Spears, RB, Tulane-Board favorite. Good athleticism. One-cut back that would fit very nicely in this zone blocking scheme.
Pick 148: Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Mich-6'5, 250 athletic TE. 9.66 RAs, ran a 4.63 40. Would be a nice compliment to Kmet.
Pick 218: Nesta Jade Silvera, DT, ASU-This is an Eberflus guy. Plays hard every play, mean, nasty. 6'2, 315. Can play NT or 3T in this 4-3 defense. Could develop into a good backup DT.
Pick 258: Tavius Robinson, Edge, Ole Miss-Toolsy developmental DE. 6'6, 257, 4.66 40, 8.76 RAS score. Finished 2022 with the 2nd most forced fumbles with five and had seven sacks. Another player that could develop into a rotational guy with low-end starter upside.
