Before the trade deadline, the Bears (3-11) dealt their 2023 second-round pick to the Steelers for receiver Chase Claypool, a three-year veteran. So far, the deal looks dismal for Chicago, whose second-round pick sent to Pittsburgh will be high in the 2023 NFL Draft.
The Bears have received mixed results from the 11 players in their 2022 NFL Draft class. Here's a breakdown.
The Bears appear on their way to a top five draft pick. Here are two players who could provide an immediate upgrade to the team's defense.
The former first-round pick has an opportunity to seize a starting spot on the offensive line.
In a 28-19 loss, Fields went 20-for-25 for 254 yards.
The Bears are 3-9 and last in the NFC standings. They are projected to have one of the top picks in the 2023 NFL Draft. With college football conference championship games this weekend, fans have an opportunity to see players that the Bears will target in the draft.
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus believes his defense has a solid foundation, but the unit continues to struggle. The good news is Chicago probably will have top five pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and its choice of defensive difference-makers.
The high price the Bears paid for low-producing WR Chase Claypool begs the question: Did the Steelers fleece Chicago? In early November, the Bears traded a second-round pick to Pittsburgh for the third-year wideout.
The Bears suffered more than a loss in the standings Sunday as two key players went down for a team already missing its starting quarterback.
Bears QB Justin Fields shed more light on his injury Wednesday, including a key factor that will influence whether he tries to play on Sunday.
The Bears are 3-8, but they apparently are developing a winning culture in the locker room, starting with second-year quarterback Justin Fields. On Tuesday, Sports Illustrated senior NFL reporter Albert Breer tweeted about Fields’ postgame address to the team following the loss to Atlanta on Sunday.
Bears fans have long felt that Justin Fields is not protected by NFL referees to the same degree that other quarterbacks are. Those feelings are now (publicly) shared by those in the Bears locker room.
The faster Claypool adjusts to the team’s offense and develops chemistry with QB Justin Fields, the more likely it is that the Bears offense will make a significant jump.
With strong showings, Ebner can solidify his spot on the roster this season and beyond.
While he's new to the team, Claypool hasn't done much of anything in two games with the Bears.
Justin Fields' recent performances give Bears fans hope that the team finally has another franchise QB.
