Players for the Chicago Bears to target on Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft

Here are the best options on defense for the Chicago Bears on Day 3

The Chicago Bears have spent two picks on the defense and one pick on the offense. After hearing Ryan Poles speak tonight, it is obvious that the 2022 NFL Draft is not too big of a moment for him at this point in his general manager career. He has stuck to his best player available mentality and the Bears are clearly working off their tiered big board. I should not complain as much seeing that is how I like to lay out my big boards too.

The meatball fan in me wants to yell and scream seeing a safety taken when some top wide receivers on my board were available. What can I say, I don’t think completely the same way as Ryan Poles. Let’s take a look at the defensive side of the ball anyway. Ryan Poles might go back to that side of the ball since his head coach, Matt Eberflus, is a defensive-minded coach.

Perrion Winfrey, DT – Oklahoma
Curtis Brooks, DT – Cincinnati

This Kyler Gordon stat will blow Chicago Bears fans’ minds

The Chicago Bears took Washington cornerback Kyler Gordon at pick no. 39 in the 2022 NFL Draft, and one particular stat of his is shocking.

Alright, that’s a wrap for the second night of the 2022 NFL Draft. There is plenty to be happy about with the Chicago Bears draft results, but I understand the frustration. I too am not 100 percent sold on the outcome of those first three picks. That said, I do love the first two as solid, strong players who instantly improve the defense. I just wanted to see a shift to the offense.

Here is looking ahead to Day 3
