A 2022 Chicago Bears mock draft to shock the world
By Ryan Heckman
By now, most Chicago Bears fans have gotten their emotions out into the open in regards to the Khalil Mack trade.
But, general manager Ryan Poles has made it crystal clear that he is far from done making moves. Already seeing the Bears’ plan to cut ties with Danny Trevathan, Eddie Goldman and Tarik Cohen, it’s looking like a full-on rebuild for Poles.
Bears fans may not want to admit it, but this is being done the right way. Poles is attempting to get younger, faster and all while acquiring assets. Whether that’s cap space or draft picks, he’s out to ensure this roster is full of youth.
Entering the 2022 NFL Draft, now, the Bears have six picks instead of five, thanks to trading Mack. But, will they stand pat? Probably not.
The Chicago Bears very well may make even more moves prior to and during the 2022 NFL Draft
Looking at their needs, now, they are all over the place. But, that’s to be expected from a rebuilding team.
The Bears should be looking at surrounding Fields, first and foremost, in the draft. Poles has to protect him and get him some weapons immediately. Even if the Bears aren’t good this year, Fields will have most of his weapons and line set for the future if all goes according to plan.
This mock draft was an intriguing one to put together using the Pro Football Focus simulator, and what ended up happening would completely shock the football world if it came to pass.
