In case you haven’t noticed, I love the NFL Draft. Especially for a rebuilding team like the Bears, I view it as a great opportunity to take some serious swings at positions of need. More often than not, it is absolutely crucial to succeed in the draft if a team wants to be a long-term playoff contender. I’ve done a few mock drafts so far this year, and I even did a 7-round mock draft in my mock offseason article. However, this is the first time I’m using the current draft order at whatever given time I write these mocks. Though 6 games isn’t a perfect representation of how the season will play out, it’s still something worth considering. As of this writing, the Bears have the No. 11 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. That positioning will likely change in one direction or another. If the season ended today, though, here’s a hypothetical look at how their draft could turn out.
