Chicago Bears Draft: Second round tiered prospect rankings

Alright, this is the group that I foresee no one falling from the first round to the Bears pick at No. 43. In fact, none of these guys should come close to seeing the second round. Remember, these are not just “rankings” of who I think is better than who, these are tiered rankings. Therefore, if you see the likes of Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa in the same tier, it means you cannot go wrong with either.

Feel free to nitpick these all you want, that’s what is fun about rankings. Just remember, if I have the likes of Henry Ruggs III above CeeDee Lamb and Jerry Jeudy, but they are in the same tier, essentially these guys are interchangeable. It would mean I find them to be close enough in talent that choosing one over the other would come down to scheme fit, roster construction (team needs) and finally just personal preference. Alright, here we go.

1. Chase Young, EDGE1
2. Tua Tagovailoa, QB1
3. Joe Burrow, QB2

4.   Jeffrey Okudah, CB1
5.   Isaiah Simmons, LB1
6.   Jerry Jeudy, WR1
7.   CeeDee Lamb, WR2
8.   Andrew Thomas, OT1
9.   Tristan Wirfs, IOL1
10. Jedrick Wills, OT2

11. Javon Kinlaw, DL1
12. Henry Ruggs, III, WR3
13. Mekhi Becton, OT3
14. Derrick Brown, DL2
15. K’Lavon Chaisson, EDGE2
16. Jalen Hurts, QB3 (Note: He could actually fall, I am higher on him than most seem)
17. Justin Herbert, QB4
18. Justin Jefferson, WR4
19. C.J. Henderson, CB2
20. Kristian Fulton, CB3

Alright, so these are essentially my top-20 prospects and I do not foresee any one of them dropping into the second round outside of maybe Jalen Hurts. Many have Jordan Love higher and I hope this is true. I would love to see four quarterbacks go in the first round and drive more talent down to the Chicago Bears at pick No. 43. These next guys are first-round talents who could drop into the second and even might fall to Ryan Pace.
