Draft Picks Darnell Wright, Zacch Pickens, and Tyler Scott Sign Rookie Deals with Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears signed three of their rookies from the 2023 draft class on Monday: first-round offensive tackle Darnell Wright, third-round defensive tackle Zaach Pickens, and fourth-round wide receiver Tyler Scott.

Darnell Wright was the crown jewel of the 2023 draft class for second-year General Manager Ryan Poles, who dubbed the former Tennessee Vol a "tone setter" with a nasty mentality:

The Bears have now signed seven of their ten draft picks. Joining the aforementioned three are linebacker Noah Sewell, cornerback Terell Smith, defensive tackle Travis Bell, and safety Kendall Williamson.

Still left to sign are the two second-round picks (DT Gervon Dexter and CB Tyrique Stevenson) as well as fourth-round running back Roschon Johnson.

Look for Poles to lock up the remaining draft picks this week as the first day of OTAs (organized team activities) will begin to pick up officially on May 22, with mandatory minicamp kicking off the week of June 6.
