The 2022 offseason is well underway for the Chicago Bears, and with March right around the corner, the 2022 NFL Draft is approaching fast. The Bears are scheduled to five a total of five picks, with no first or fourth-round selection as a result of the Justin Fields trade made by former Bears GM Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy. As Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus begin to get the Bears back to relevancy, the Bears are in familiar territory compared to where the franchise was a year ago: Too many needs but just a handful of draft picks. With such few draft picks, Poles and Eberflus will need to get creative when the NFL Draft rolls around in the final week of April. The only real route the Bears should explore is trading down, shopping the 39th overall pick, the Bears’ most valuable asset this offseason. Before we get into the madness below, there are a few factors to note. First, trades were allowed, and second, every selection below is based on how the draft board fell, along with needs the Bears have.
