Ryan Poles delivers on his promises with this latest 2023 NFL Mock Draft
Round 4, Pick No. 103: Blake Freeland, Offensive Tackle, BYU
Freeland could potentially be a Braxton Jones 2.0: a day-three selection who earns the coaching staff's confidence to be the long-term starter. Freeland's rise came from both an impressive pro day, as well as his scary size and frame of 6'8", 304 pounds.
The BYU prospect allowed one sole sack during his three years in college. Despite his immense size, Freeland can seriously move his feet well. A four-year starter in college, Freeland brings experience and expertise to the offense line, particularly at the team's need for a long-term right tackle.
Round 4, Pick No. 133: Michael Wilson, Wide Receiver, Stanford
Despite recently acquiring Chase Claypool and DJ Moore, the Bears should look to add another young talent to the wide receiver room in this year's draft. Michael Wilson drew eyes to him during the Senior Bowl, where he flashed his physicalness, good hands, and precious route running.
Wilson would need to prove his lack of college experience won't be an issue, as he only played in 14 games at Stanford. He shows promise in run blocking and special teams however and could help out there in his first year in Chicago.
