Windy City Gridiron

The 2022 NFL Draft is about 11 months away, but for NFL teams, preparing for the draft is a year-round activity. Luckily for the Bears, their 2022 process was made a lot easier by the selection of Justin Fields in the first round of this year’s draft. Having their potential franchise quarterback in tow, it now becomes Chicago’s job to surround the Ohio State product with young talent to ascend alongside him early on in his career. Not having a first-round pick next year stings a little bit, but any potential pain is significantly subdued by having acquired Fields this past April. Plus, there are still plenty of talented prospects the Bears could acquire to boost their roster on Day 2 of the draft.
